How to convert string to double with powers?

>> str2double('0.88D+02')

ans =

     NaN

I want to convert string '0.88D+02' to double 88 or 0.88D+02. However, When I use the above codes, it returns Nan. It works when I use str2num, but the length is too short. I can't convert long decimal number.
