Convert string with binary value to a IEEE754 Float.

I think a few lines of Python is justified here, e.g.

import struct
 
flt = '01000000 10001010 10111011 10001100'
 
f = int(flt.replace(' ', ''), 2)  # Remove spaces
print(struct.unpack('f', struct.pack('I', f))[0])

Result:

4.335393905639648

It should be fairly easy to incorporate into a PythonCaller.

import struct
 
flt = '01000000 10001010 10111011 10001100'
 
f = int(flt.replace(' ', ''), 2)  # Remove spaces
print(struct.unpack('f', struct.pack('I', f))[0])

4.335393905639648

Thanks for the quick reply!

import fme
import fmeobjects
import struct
 
def processFeature(feature):
    
    binary = feature.getAttribute('value').replace(" ","")
    float = struct.unpack('f', struct.pack('I', int(binary,2)))[0]
    feature.setAttribute("float",float)

Thanks again for this @ebygomm​ it works great. Providing a working example is really fantastic for people like me. I always have a really hard time to get anything Python related working, but tweaking something existing, what works, is doable. 

I believe combining FME and Python will return far better solutions then FME only.  I would love to do this more, but somehow learning it really gives me a struggle.

Note: I don't have a programming background. And I think a lot FME users are in the same boat, else they would have fixed most of their issues using Python.

Fortunately there is an enormeous amount of Python tutorials out there, most of them free.

It's well worth the investment if you regularly work with non-trivial issues, in my opinion. Both within and without FME.
