Yeah, that works, but then I end up with a mess like this: if fld “display” = 0 AND NOT fld “display” ends with “.” then … But this may be what I have to go with. That’s at least *sort of* comprehensible to a newbie. I'll have to explain to them that “LiveCode tries its hardest to make something into a number if there is any chance at all that it could be a number, so we have to do an extra check to make sure it’s not this specific type of numeric expression that happens to end with a dot.” :-/ Devin Devin Asay Office of Digital Humanities Brigham Young University _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
