2,421 PointsMatching ½ etc. with a float
How do I match i.e. ½ with a float using regex on a string? As an example I need to fetch some information around recipes and that contains i.e. 2 ½ oz of something. In this example I would like to turn 2 ½ into 2.5.
Any good ideas? I've tried Google my way out of it without luck.

2,421 PointsCorrection. I found suggestions on Stackoverflow that suggest doing a .replace("½", ".5"). The question is perhaps then also if this is best practice? Perhaps there's a better way.
