@deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} str2double (@var{s})\n\
Convert a string to a real or complex number.\n\
\n\
The string must be in one of the following formats where\n\
a and b are real numbers and the complex unit is 'i' or 'j':\n\
\n\
@itemize\n\
@item a + bi\n\
\n\
@item a + b*i\n\
\n\
@item a + i*b\n\
\n\
@item bi + a\n\
\n\
@item b*i + a\n\
\n\
@item i*b + a\n\
@end itemize\n\
\n\
If present, a and/or b are of the form @nospell{[+-]d[,.]d[[eE][+-]d]} where\n\
the brackets indicate optional arguments and 'd' indicates zero or more\n\
digits.  The special input values @code{Inf}, @code{NaN}, and @code{NA} are\n\
also accepted.\n\
\n\
@var{s} may also be a character matrix, in which case the conversion is\n\
repeated for each row.  Or @var{s} may be a cell array of strings, in which\n\
case each element is converted and an array of the same dimensions is\n\
returned.\n\
\n\
@code{str2double} returns NaN for elements of @var{s} which cannot be\n\
converted.\n\
\n\
@code{str2double} can replace @code{str2num}, and it avoids the security\n\
risk of using @code{eval} on unknown data.\n\
@seealso{str2num}\n\
