You might consider using the "round" function, with its precision set to whatever decimal value you wish, likely that value that you used to consider setting the numberformat. This will do almost the same thing, and trunc at that level, which is what I believe you thought the numberformat did. "Almost", because note that the rounding at that level may introduce a complication for you.

If you want to compare them based on the appearance characters, you can compare them as strings instead of numbers. Try this: on mouseUp put 1.234567 into temp put 1.2345678 into aa set the numberFormat to "0.###" put temp * 1 into temp put aa * 1 into aa answer aa = temp answer word 1 of aa = word 1 of temp answer word 1 of aa end mouseUp _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
