I need to turn a string into a float. The string contains apostrophes e.g "0.443" and my first thought was to try a str.replace.. to remove the apostrophes and then to do a parseFloat to create the float to output. However I get an error that these functions are not found in MAX. Any suggestions?

var filterFloat = function (value) {
    if(/^(\-|\+)?([0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?|Infinity)$/
      .test(value))
      return Number(value);
  return NaN;
}



hiiiiiiiiiii !
i found that on mozilla

+(string) should work as well, and return NaNs.
