Additionally, it wants a number, in spite of the availability of "Text" formatting. This might or might not be correct behavior; the documentation isn't at all clear. IMO, this doesn't seem to be the *BEST* behavior, in that Perl (for example) states that a variable is a named string of characters that might or might not be interpretable as a number. Yes, C++ proceeds to overload the + operator to mean concatenation, but plenty of BASIC languages since time immemorial have achieved this with operators (MID$) and casts, such as NUM$ and STR$.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
