Is your feature request related to a problem?
tonumber(, ) function as part of roadmap #4287

What solution would you like?
tonumber(, )
This function converts a string to a number.
Usage
You can use this function with the eval and where commands, in the WHERE clause of the from command, and as part of evaluation expressions with other commands.
The argument can be a string or the name of a field that contains a string. If the string contains a decimal point ( . ), then the tonumber function converts it to a double. Otherwise, the function converts the string to an integer.

Be aware that integers are supported differently in different product contexts:
The argument is optional. It defines the base of the number in the argument. It defaults to 10, which corresponds to the decimal system. You can set to a number between 2 and 36, inclusive.

If the tonumber function cannot parse a field value to a number, for example if the value contains a leading and trailing space, the function returns null. Use the trim function to remove leading or trailing spaces.

If the tonumber function cannot parse a literal string to a number, the function returns an error.

Basic examples
The following example converts the string values from the store_sales field to numbers, and then stores the numbers in a field named n. This example uses the default base of 10.
... | eval n=tonumber(store_sales)

The following example takes the hexadecimal number and uses a base of 16 to return the number "164".

... | eval n=tonumber("0A4",16)

The following example trims any leading or trailing spaces from the values in the celsius field before converting it to a number.

... | eval temperature=tonumber(trim(celsius))
