Richard, What about
put "3.141592653589793238461" is "3.141592653589793238462" Guess what Rev says? (True.) Longstanding behavior in xTalk, going back to HyperCard days. but put "3.141592653589793238461" & null is "3.141592653589793238462" & null returns false. Seems like the "best practice" right now is: to coerce string-based evaluation over possible numeric evaluation, use the & null operation. > I can understand attempting to coerce to numbers if two string literals > have an arithmetic operator between them, e.g.: > > "5" + "5" > > ...but if quoted and merely checking for equivalence, offhand I can think > of no case where these wouldn't be true: > > "5" is "5" > > "55e555" is "55e555" > > "a" = "a" _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
