I am getting this error when i try to parse a string to get float value.

FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. System.Number.ParseSingle (System.String value, System.Globalization.NumberStyles options, System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo numfmt) (at :0) System.Single.Parse (System.String s, System.Globalization.NumberStyles style, System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo info) (at :0) System.Single.Parse (System.String s, System.IFormatProvider provider)

The Simple Script:

Code (CSharp):

1. public Text ResultsBaseRes;
2. float res=0;
3. public void Create()
4. {
5. res = float. Parse(ResultsBaseRes.text);
6. }

What I have already Tried?

changing the line to

Code (CSharp):

1. res = float.Parse(ResultsBaseRes.text, CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US"));
2. res = float.Parse(ResultsBaseRes.text, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat);
3. res = float.Parse(ResultsBaseRes.text, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Unity Version: 2019.1.08f

Please help!!!

 

Edit:

I have also tried

Code (CSharp):

1. res = Convert.ToSingle(ResultsBaseRes.Text);

Also the Input is in the correct format as the Input Feild has been set to take decimal numbers only.

 

Depends on what kind of format you want to parse. See examples here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.single.parse?view=netframework-4.7

 

Well mine is simple i just want to parse a decimal value that is going to be between 0 and 50
but i get this exception every time i try to parse.

 

what is ResultsBaseRes?

and can you show the string, maybe it has spaces or other extra characters somewhere?

 

Its Just an Input Field. Its pre-configured to only take in decimal numbers

 

God Dammit !! XD i was taking in the wrong field

 

what do you mean?
