StrToReal
Converts a string into a floating-point number. This function will search the string for the first non-blank character, and then start converting until it finds the end of the string or a non-numeric character. If the first non-blank character is not a numeric character (0-9), a space, a decimal point, a " + " or a " - " sign, the return value is 0 (zero).
