How to implement the "Double" function ?

[Nuno Carvalho]

Hi there,

   I'm trying to execute a ".m" file from Matlab into the Octave.
   Unfortunally I don't have the "double" function: conversion from 
string to float (64bits or 32 bits) data types.

   I don't know Matlab. Just need to execute that file. Could someone 
write this function for me ?

   Thanks in advance.

   Regards,
     Nuno
