string-float conversion...

alright, I have a problem converting a string to float…

 // inputmsg = "2.5 metres"
 // chop up into words

  pch = strtok (inputMsg," ,-"); 
  
  i=0;
  
  while (pch != NULL)
{
        
      i++;
        if (i==1)
        {
     	rcvpacket.distance = atof(pch); //if printf as %f = 2.50000, if printf as %d = 1 :confused:
            rcvpacket.distance = rcvpacket.distance + 3.141592654; // just adding PI..could be any decimal number
            printf ("distance: %f

",rcvpacket.distance); // prints out 7.141593 instead of 5.641592654. :confused:
}
…

     }

i’m using an RCM3900… if that could be the problem…?
