This is the price of having a "type-less" programming language. "6." get evaluated to see if it is numeric, which it is an is treated as the number 6. Likewise with "6. " and 6 does equal 6. Now, in typed language, you would have declared both things as STRINGs and you would get a false. _______________________________________________ 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
