Hi,
A={'2248866001'
'2249926001'
'2249924001'
'2249925001'
'2249906001'}
I am trying to convert to double using str2double(A) and I am receiving: 2248866001.00000 2249926001.00000 2249924001.00000 2249925001.00000 2249906001.00000
How can I get rid of these zeros?

This is a format setting, not a precision setting. See the help for FORMAT to decide which display setting is best for you.
