oh damn... my match expressions were wrong... replace all this code with nested ifs... it's working fine.

Hi folks,
I am trying to build a routine to check what is the type of a variable so that I can generate XML-RPC Parameters. I am using a switch structure I pasted below. The problem is, when executing the handler like: xmlRPCCall "http://someurl";, "somemethod", "andre", 1, "10/06/98" all parameters evaluate to string even the date and the number... the snipet that deals with strings is the "default" part of the switch, I thought, if it ain't a date, bool, int or float then it must be a string, but, everything turns to be a string... any clues?
PS: yes, I am using those nice functions made by Sarah :D
if the paramCount > 2 then addNewXMLElement tTreeID, "/methodCall", "params", "" repeat with x = 3 to the paramCount put x - 2 into tNum
switch (param(x))
case (param(x) is a integer)
addNewXMLElement tTreeID, "/methodCall/params/", "param", ""
addNewXMLElement tTreeID, replaceText("/methodCall/params/param[tNum]", "tNum", tNum), "value", ""
addNewXMLElement tTreeID, replaceText("/methodCall/params/param[tNum]/value", "tNum", tNum), "int", param(x)
break
case (param(x) is a number)
addNewXMLElement tTreeID, "/methodCall/params/", "param", ""
addNewXMLElement tTreeID, replaceText("/methodCall/params/param[tNum]", "tNum", tNum), "value", ""
addNewXMLElement tTreeID, replaceText("/methodCall/params/param[tNum]/value", "tNum", tNum), "float", param(x)
break
case (param(x) is a boolean)
addNewXMLElement tTreeID, "/methodCall/params/", "param", ""
