parse

The parse function converts a String value into a numeric,
date, vector, or other value. The parse function converts
the String according to the built-in LISP parsing rules.
If the String cannot be recognized, by one of the built-in LISP
parsing rules, the original String, without change, is returned.
Alternatively, the parse function may also be passed a
String pointer, a starting index, and an ending index.
Usage Use this function when a String is to be converted to a numeric,
date, or other value.
(parse string) Returns the converted value of the String . If the String
cannot be correctly parsed, the original String argument is
returned.
