Comments
The convert function converts a string to a value or a value to a string. expr may be a scalar or a string.
If expr is a string and contains none of the characters 0 through 9, the result is 0.
If expr is a string and contains only the characters 0 through 9, a minus sign (-), or a decimal point (.), the result is a scalar with the same value as the numeric value represented by the string.
If expr is a string and contains characters other than 0 through 9, a minus sign (-), or a decimal point (.), the result is a scalar with the same value as the numeric value represented by the string. The invalid characters are ignored. The result is 0.
