Subject:      converting string (spaces) to numeric

Has anyone ever converted a string to numeric (ie. '1 000 000' to 1000000).

I have a program I am trying to modify.  The data has change.  We use to
read the data string without any spaces but now it contains spaces.

I don't really want to do a do-loop and check for spaces but if it's the
only way, i guess i will have to.
