numeric string constants change type

[HeX0R]

Probably not an IDE problem but a compiler problem?
I had to add a constant into compiler options -> constants, which was:
#TEST = "123"
But this seems to be swapped into #TEST = 123, because this here ends-up with a "Bad parameter type, string expected" error:

Code: Select all

Debug Len(#TEST)

[STARGÅTE]

Confirmed. All numeric like strings are converted to integer or float.

Hmm... that's odd? My debug returns 3
My system is very close to Stargate's.

Sorry... I missed that 'complier options' part. (even though you made it obvious)

Yes, I get the same results as you.

If you use a letter or special character, it works.
#Test=#123

Code: Select all

; #TEST = ~"123"
Debug #TEST ; Result: ~"123
