    I have my levels setup in an xmlFile, the objects's positions are represented in a string something like this
    <Position>0,1,0</Position>
    <Position>-1,0,0</Position>​
    my problem occurs when I try to parse the Strings that contains a negative number, The code throws a Format Exception, I literally tried everything i know or saw on the net, nothing worked

    what language are you using how have you tried to parse the string? In c# this will work:
    using System;
    int x = Convert.toInt32("-1"); // x will = -1

    All good, the thing is when I tried to split the Position String I put a "-" in the seperator, Removed that and everything was fixed
