Value Error: could not convert string to float

[Kevin5013HD]

Hi, you have developed an excelent package for readinf .dbf but I have had many issues reading one of them. I want to keep just 2 columns of the .dbf but first I have to load it to then read for delete columns later but at this step, I got a Value Error of one of the registers of the .dbf which is part of the columns I want to delete.

In fact, first I got a Value Error with strange characters but ,modifying the function 'parseN' it was converted that strange character to 'nz'

Thanks for helping me in this issue, I hope get your answer.

I have my way to solve this problem. You can change the source code in field_parser.p.
At code line 170:
except ValueError:
if not data.strip():
return None

# next two line, I insert my code to solve the problem.
elif data.strip() == b'.':
return '.'

else:
return float(data.replace())

It's my first time to answer question, I'm so sorry my English is so poor, and I don't know how to indent code. I hope my answer can solve your problem. If you have any question, you can contact me.
