Converting String to float

[boburob]

Hi everyone.

I need help again lol, im trying to code a load function, ive got it to read the files and put the values into strings, but i need to convert these to float type and nothing i try seems to work!

	//Loads players saved statistics
	void loadFile()
	{
		
		try {

			FileReader file = new FileReader("winstat.dat");

			BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(file);

			String line = buff.readLine();
			trans1 = line;

			buff.close();

		} 
		catch (IOException e) {

			System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());

		}
		
		try {

			FileReader file = new FileReader("loosestat.dat");

			BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(file);

			String line = buff.readLine();
			trans2 = line;

			buff.close();

		} 
		catch (IOException e) {

			System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());

		}
		try {

			FileReader file = new FileReader("drawstat.dat");

			BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(file);

			String line = buff.readLine();
			trans3 = line;

			buff.close();

		} 
		catch (IOException e) {

			System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());

		}
		message.setText(trans1);
	}

The files contain single float numbers, e.g.: 6.0

Thanks for any help!
