String math equation to actual numbers

[thiago777]

Hi!

I need to interpret a string which contains a mathematical expression and get from it a double value. For example:

from the string "(2+2)^2" get the value 16 (as integer or double)

I prefer to use an existant method rather than writting my own interpreter if possible. Any ideas?

thanks!

There must be a something like available.. google calculator for example already does this anyway.. when we type 2+2 it returns 4.
