Is there a built-in Delphi function which would convert a string such as '3,232.00' to float? StrToFloat raises an exception because of the comma. Or is the only way to strip out the comma first and then do StrToFloat?
Thanks.

To convert a string with comma separator and dot to a float:Use the str. replace() method to remove the commas from the string. Use the float() class to convert the string to a floating-point number.
We can convert a string to float in Python using the float() function. This is a built-in function used to convert an object to a floating point number. Internally, the float() function calls specified object __float__() function.
replace() method. To convert a string with a comma as the thousands separator to a number: Use the str. replace() method to remove the commas from the string.
Do you exactly know, that '.' is decimal separator and ',' is thousand separator (always)? If so, then you should fill the TFormatSettings record and pass it to StrToFloat.
FillChar(FS, SizeOf(FS), 0);
... // filling other fields
FS.ThousandSeparator := ',';
FS.DecimalSeparator := '.';
V := StrToFloat(S, FS);
