% @deftypefn {Function File} {} str2num (@var{s})
% Convert the string (or character array) @var{s} to a number (or an
% array). Examples:
%
% @example
% @group
% str2num('3.141596')
% @result{} 3.141596
%
% str2num(['1, 2, 3'; '4, 5, 6']);
% @result{} ans =
% 1 2 3
% 4 5 6
% @end group
% @end example
%
% @strong{Caution:} As @code{str2num} uses the @code{eval} function
% to do the conversion, @code{str2num} will execute any code contained
% in the string @var{s}. Use @code{str2double} instead if you want to
% avoid the use of @code{eval}.
