Hello Mark,
If you check empty = 0, you'll get false
I DO get false in the message box but in a handler where there is
nothing being passed in the parameter I get the following (note that
expressly putting empty into the parameter variable does give the
expected result.)
if I call "MyHandler" with this inside a stack script:
on MyHandler tParam --> where I didn't pass anything in tParam
put isNumber(tParam) into tParamIsNumber
put tParam = 0 into tParamIsZero
put (tParam is empty) into tParamIsEmpty
end MyHandler
it results in BOTH tParamIsZero = true AND tParamIsEmpty = true
(it is empty and zero?)
also, tParamIsNumber = false AND tParamIsZero = true (it is
not a number but it is zero?)
If I add the line: put empty into tParam
on MyHandler tParam
put empty into tParam
put isNumber(tParam) into tParamIsNumber
put tParam = 0 into tParamIsZero
put (tParam is empty) into tParamIsEmpty
end MyHandler
then ParamIsZero = false
Thanks for your help.

Hi Scott,
If you check empty = 0, you'll get false, but if empty*1 = 0 will
return true. AFAIK it has always been like this. I assume that
tParam gets parsed when it is passed to a function or command
handler. You can change the offending line of your script into: "put
tParam is zero and tParam is not empty"

I'm having trouble with a script where an empty parameter is
evaluated as being zero. I've only been using rev 3.5 a short
while so maybe I've missed a setting or new feature?
In the message box all works as expected:
put empty into tVariable
put charToNum(tVariable) --> (empty)
put isNumber(tVariable) --> false
put tVariable is zero --> false
but in my script, when the parameter is empty I get:
on tHandler tParam -- where tParam is empty
put charToNum(tParam) --> (empty)
put isNumber(tParam) --> false
put tParam is zero --> true
end tHandler
if I explicitly < put empty into tParam > inside the script then
all works as expected
I've not had a lot of sleep but hoped coffee and a maple bar might
compensate.
