/value/ is really [ nothing | a boolean | an integer | a real | a string | a binary string | an array ] and as of LC8dp7 it is not working to well: "0" is a string -> true 0 is a string -> true 0 is an integer -> false 0. is a string -> true 0. is a real -> false "0." is a string -> true The proposed "is exactly" syntax is comparing two variables (or values) for equivalence by type and contents. Whoever came up with the "is exactly" syntax should submit it as an enhancement to http://quality.runrev.com/ It would be a great addition to the language. _______________________________________________ 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
