$x="0,0212"
do
$y = $y+1
$x=$x+1
? $x " -> "
val("$x")
until $y>10
get $x
exit

and my values really are NULL every time, but if I take "," out, it works fine.

Is it the same with 2001 beta?

but when you have this simple "42 and that's it" should the val return then an error code of somekind? instead of the number? some error for not pure number and some for more than one.

I've allways thinked that val should count every letter in the string. even thou they are alphas.

it seems KIX learned a little bit from PERL. I found out, that KIX takes the numeric values in front of the string and return it. If KIX cannot find a numeric in front of it returns 0.

I think it´s very

yap, might be cool in some situations but quite uncool to check if variable is a real integer ....

but, why worry : we can check that anyway by vartype() !
