Or maybe to specify string equivalence. > Did anyone know that "6. " is equal to "6."??? string( "6. “) is not equal to string( "6.”) where the function string() would tell LC not to try to convert the string into a number, but simply leave it as a literal string for comparison purposes. Of course, another way to prevent LC from converting a textual number into an actual number is to append a string to the textual number: whereas "6. “ = "6.” returns TRUE "6. “ & “a” = "6.” & “a” returns FALSE.
