SplitString problem

Hi, i have an array of numbers like the following, +1.2, +5.0, -3.0, +4.0

now, i have used the sub string to pull out all numbers beginning with ‘+’ and all numbers beginning with ‘-’.

i would like to take the numbers beginning with ‘-’ and remove the ‘-’ (minus sign)

I have used the split string and i am able to remove the ‘-’, but for some reason i get a comma before the number instead, eg, ‘,3.0’?

so when i try and add my new number to another velue i get an error?

Can some one tell me hoe to get rid of the comma??

Many Thanks
Sam
