DEFUN (str2double, args, ,

@deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} str2double (@var{s})\n\
Convert a string to a real or complex number.\n\
\n\
The string must be in one of the following formats where\n\
a and b are real numbers and the complex unit is @qcode{'i'} or @qcode{'j'}:\n\
\n\
@itemize\n\
@item a + bi\n\
\n\
@item a + b*i\n\
\n\
@item a + i*b\n\
\n\
@item bi + a\n\
\n\
@item b*i + a\n\
\n\
@item i*b + a\n\
@end itemize\n\
\n\
If present, a and/or b are of the form @nospell{[+-]d[,.]d[[eE][+-]d]} where\n\
the brackets indicate optional arguments and @qcode{'d'} indicates zero or\n\
more digits.  The special input values @code{Inf}, @code{NaN}, and @code{NA}\n\
are also accepted.\n\
\n\
@var{s} may be a character string, character matrix, or cell array.\n\
For character arrays the conversion is repeated for every row, and\n\
a double or complex array is returned.  Empty rows in @var{s} are deleted\n\
and not returned in the numeric array.  For cell arrays each character\n\
string element is processed and a double or complex array of the same\n\
dimensions as @var{s} is returned.\n\
\n\
For unconvertible scalar or character string input @code{str2double} returns\n\
a NaN@.  Similarly, for character array input @code{str2double} returns a\n\
NaN for any row of @var{s} that could not be converted.  For a cell array,\n\
@code{str2double} returns a NaN for any element of @var{s} for which\n\
conversion fails.  Note that numeric elements in a mixed string/numeric\n\
cell array are not strings and the conversion will fail for these elements\n\
and return NaN.\n\
\n\
@code{str2double} can replace @code{str2num}, and it avoids the security\n\
risk of using @code{eval} on unknown data.\n\
@seealso{str2num}\n\
