Convert cell, containing decimal points as a comma, to double

Hi all,

I have a cell vector with numbers where the decimal point is a comma. How do I convert these to numbers?

Let's use an example:

A = '-68,8';

I want to convert this to the number -68.8.

str2double(A) gives:

-688

str2num(A) gives:

-68 8

Can you please help me?

Best regards,

Fredrik (using R2021a)

As always, I found the answer right after posting. If I use

A = str2double(strrep(A,',','.'))

it seems to work.

@Fredrik, since you found the solution before I posted my answer, I suggest you accept your own answer.

I will delete my answer after that.
