[jubafre at brturbo.com]

i have an aplication in tkinter, and i use the text componnent, i have a function to search in the componnet using 'search'.

for example:
start=self.text.search(string, 0.0, nocase=1, stopindex=END)
return start='10.60'

float(start)
return 10.6

10.6!=10.60

and in my aplicattion make diference i, how can i transform this string in a float number, i want 10.60 in float?
