#include <allegro.h>

double ustrtod(const char *s, char **endp);

Description

This function converts as many characters of 's' that look like a floating point number into one, and sets '*endp' to point to the first unused character, if 'endp' is not a NULL pointer. Example:
char *endp, *string = "456.203 askdfg";
double number = ustrtod(string, &endp);
