How to convert string to double ?

x3ex

I'm new to qml..
Can anyone tell me how to convert String to double or long long value ?
I mean I want a double or long long result. I'm writing an application for a large calculation...
And want to add comma (,) after 3 digit and also need 5 precision.

I mean I want something like --> 12,345,678.976548

How can I do that...???

@ TextInput {
id: textInput1
width: 146
height: 37
text: qsTr("Text Input")
font.pixelSize: 12
}

TextInput {
    id: textInput2
    width: 142
    height: 37
    text: qsTr("Text Input")
    font.pixelSize: 12
}

Button {
    height: 30
    width: 100
    onClicked: {
        root.text = textInput1 + textInput2
    }
}@

I don't know if you can do that, if you stay in pure javaScript you can only use float precision I guess:
@
parseFloat("12,345,678.976548".replace(",", ""))
@
As far as I know JS floats are always of 64 bit precision, that should be like a c++ double (long double) I guess?
for your example that number should very well fit inside of a float, I don't know if you can use real c++ double or long long within QML, you can declare a double property in QML but there is no way of parsing a string to double I guess, so you might have to use your own c++ function for that.

Thank you for reply...:-)
I've made something like
@Rectangle {

property real calc: textInput1.text
property real calc2: textInput2.text
property real result: calc + calc2

id: window
visible: true
width: 360
height: 360

Button {
    id: button
    width: 200
    height: 30
    onClicked: { button.text = result }
}

TextInput {
    id: textInput1
    x: 124
    y: 99
    width: 80
    height: 20
    text: parseFloat("20")
    font.pixelSize: 12
}

TextInput {
    id: textInput2
    x: 124
    y: 181
    width: 80
    height: 20
    text: parseFloat("10")
    font.pixelSize: 12
}

}@

and It works...
But I'm still unable to add comma after 3 digit...

Ah sorry I misunderstood you, I thought you wanted to convert a string to a number, but if you want to add comma you want to convert a number to a string (numbers can't have commas of course, so you need a string to display the number as a formatted string). :)
It makes no sense to do something like
@
text: parseFloat("20")
@
because that will convert the string "20" to a float and then convert it back to a string "20", which is the same as before obviously.

there is no easy way of doing that I guess, you can maybe use a regular expression, I found this on "stackoverflow":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2901102/how-to-print-a-number-with-commas-as-thousands-separators-in-javascript it looks like a good solution:
@
function numberWithCommas(x) {
return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
}
@
or you can do it by yourself, split the string and add commas, but the result will be the same :)

Edit: Just got an idea, maybe you can also use QLocale and Qt's number formatting, since all you want is a thousand separator and QLocale::toString should be able to do that for you, but you need c++ for that, don't think that can be done from QML.
