Converting a .CSV string array to a float array

Hello all,

I’m trying to parse a .CSV file and store the contents as a float array.I’ve been trying to get this to work for a while now to no avail. My latest attempt is based on this post [JS] How convert a String[] to int[] - Unity Answers

Getting a string array from the file works, but I haven’t found a way to get a float array going.

var TPRead : TextAsset;
var TPReadArr : String[]; 
var TPRList : List.<float>;

function Start () {
	readFile();
}

 function readFile() : List.<float> {
     TPReadArr = TPRead.text.Split(","[0]);
     
     var TPRList = new List.<float>();
 
     for(var ctt : String in TPReadArr) {
        TPRList.Add(float.Parse(ctt)); 
     }
     
 }

That code is getting me the following error

FormatException: Unknown char
System.Double.Parse (System.String s, NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono-runtime-and-classlibs/build/mcs/class/corlib/System/Double.cs:209)
System.Single.Parse (System.String s) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono-runtime-and-classlibs/build/mcs/class/corlib/System/Single.cs:183)
CSV Reader.readFile () (at Assets/My Scripts/CSV Reader.js:29)
CSV Reader.Start () (at Assets/My Scripts/CSV Reader.js:20)

Which I don’t understand. The string array shows up full of floats.

Here is the contents of the .CSV just in case.

@Yog0: that’s because TryParse doesn’t take just a string. Int32.TryParse Method (System) | Microsoft Learn But you still need to fix the issue with returns, regardless.
