If you're trying to determine if one number is contained inside another array of numbers, converting them to strings then using contains is an indirect way to do so. I'd avoid comparing the strings and compare the numeric arrays instead using ismembertol. If you have integer values or know because of some property of the numbers that the exact value, down to the last bit, is contained in the array, you could use ismember.
This may help you avoid the repeated conversions back and forth between double and string.

Ran in:
By default, string() of a double precision number gives a result to 5 digits of precision.
a = 0.367265
a = 0.3673
string(a)
ans = "0.36727"
To get more digits, you need to use compose()
compose("%.6g", a)
ans = "0.367265"
This relies upon you knowing the exact number of digits ahead of time.
You also have the problem that your input is comma as the decimal, but string() and compose() are going to use period as the decimal. You are already doing proper conversion -- you should just store all of the converted values instead of just max() of the converted values, and then work with the converted values.
