MATLAB: How to convert char into double

Question

Hello everyone,

I have following char: "2.311.592 /" And I want to convert it to double and leave numbers only, I have tried to use

new = str2double(val);

But the output was NaN, what would you recommend me to do?

Answer 1

Str = '2.311.592 /';
Str(Str < '0' | Str > '9') = [];
Value = sscanf(Str, '%d');
