0.00 is not a valid internal representation of a number. That can only exist as a string. Same goes for "1e7". That is a print formated number, not a valid internal number. $var = 1e7 and print $var -> 10000000. $var = 0.00 and print $var -> 0. If u want to include "numberish" strings then u need some eval's to digest the various number formats. ... if eval $var eq $var + 0; -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede males" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
