    I get a value (how much a company is worth basically) and sometimes that value is in the billions. In that case, my message is 156.2B . Now, when I try to convert this message with fromwymbol, obviously I het an error. How should I take that B away? To make things worse: Not every value is that high (in case of other companies). How should I deal with this?

      Thank you. Both options work (obviously) but what is the best of the two?

      I will go with the atoi/itoa solution. Is there a way that I can get a bang or something that tells me when a B is found?
