i have a string format timer in the form of min,sec,mill sec 00:00:0 like so, i need to be able to convert to a float so i can compare numbers but im getting a format exception with the separators :

Use get Get String Left/Right and get only the min or sec or whatever and only convert that into float but it is only a quick workaround
