Just want to convert from string containing fractional numbers (e.g.,
4 1/2
2 7/8
...
to decimal doubles
4.5
2.875
...
Anyway to not use multiple transformers for this? ( I know I can separate the fraction from the whole number, then value map the fractional segment to decimal segments, and then patch the number back together via concatenation...). However, I thought I'd check to see if I'm missing something less bulky.
Many thanks,
Pete

Here's a template workspace using a StringSearcher and an ExpressionEvaluator to convert fractions to decimals: fractions.fmwt
Example: "12 3/4" is converted to 12.75
You'll probably have to implement some checks to cover numbers without the trailing fraction and perhaps some other edge cases, but it should be fairly easy.

I believe you meant "12 3/5 is converted to 12.6". Ha ha.
