If you're trying to convert from user input, I'd recommend cleaning the string, so to speak.

str = str:gsub(" ", "") -- Remove whitespace as a precaution 
str = str:gsub(",", "") -- Some people feel the need to do this 
str = tonumber(str) 
-- If tonumber cannot convert, it will return nil 
if (str) then 
    str = math.abs(str) -- 6.480000000000 becomes 6.48. I've had cases where people were crashing other's MTA clients with numbers that had many zeroes on the end.
