How to force powerpro to evaluate an arbitrary, apriori unknown numerical expression using floating point math?
If one of the operands is a fp number powerpro will use fp math, but since the expression is unknown beforehand, you can't tell whether it includes a fp number. For instance, if string p contains the expression to be evaluated, and it is p = "3300/1200" then eval(p) is 1, but if p = "3300.0/1200" then ftos(eval(p)) is 1.375 How to ensure that for any expression you get the second result, the fp math result? I came out with a solution, which is to use a regex replacement to stick a ".0" after the first integer (if any) found in the expression. It seems to work, but it also seems more complicated than it should be. Isn't there a simpler solution that I overlooked? ; p = "3300/2400" win.debug(eval(p)) p = regex.pcrereplace(?"^(.*?)(?<![.,\d])(\d+)\b(?![.,])(.*?)$",p,?"$1$2.0$3") win.debug(ftos(eval(p)))
