I have not been modding tmc2 but I do still use some of those slick objects. (I
have modded a few of the gauges in Scott's older tmgauges project. :- )

That's the tricky thing about dotted versions;
easy to forget and set up a text comparison:
"9" > "5"
"1" < "5"
Once you have two dots, or an rc/dp, it's a string.
They seem to compare perfect

I’m still a little unclear about exactly what is going on here.
put “foo” < 9 -- returns “false”
put “foo” > 9 -- returns “true”
put “9foo” < 9 -- returns “false”
put “9foo” > 9 -- returns “true”
put “9.foo” < 9 -- returns “false”
put “7.foo” < 9 -- returns “true”
put “77.foo” < 9 -- returns “tr

Because you are NOT comparing numbers.
You are comparing (like sorting) text.
That usually means: the FIRST CHAR of each string.
(The ASCII/ANSI/etc values of those chars.)

Because "7
Hello Curry,
I’m still puzzled. So you are saying that if the first char of the string is a
number then it uses the number but if the first char is not a number then it
uses the ascii value of the first char? It seems like there is more to it than
that. Obviously we wouldn’t expect“9foo”
Scott:

No! There is no number.
Don't think about numbers. :)
Both sides are text in your comparison.
> it uses the ascii value of the first char?
Always! Because both sides are text.
Two text strings. No numbers.
