PArse field containing numbers & text

[noblehs]

We are bulding a online tool for physics students where the student needs to be able to enter something like 6.23*10^-11 in one field and have it be evaluated as a number. This would be easy enough to do in multiple fields, but the idea is to have the students think of this as one number. If we could somehow parse the field contents and seperate the parts of the expression we could then do the math in the background and evaluate the number to see if it is within a specific numerical range.

Unless I am missing something, the Evaluate() function can do this for you.

Thanks! That worked!
