Math issues

[mistersquirrle]

I'm having issues with some math for a program I'm making. I have 2 variables, $Var1 and $Var2. $Var1 is a preset value from a GUI that is then written to a ini file, and read to $Var1 later. $Var2 is a number read from the source of a web page, and I've made sure that all formatting in the number is removed.

I've tested it with just straight numbers (no variables) and that works fine, and with setting the variables right before they're used, and that works fine, so what's wrong with how this is set up?

If $Var1 > $Var2 Then
    $Var1 = $Var2
EndIf

As it is, there should be no problem.

Did you try printing your $Var1 and $Var2, prior to entering the IF condition?

Lol, reading from INI file will make the variable(dynamic, very confusing!) as string so.

If Int($Var1) > Int($Var2) Then
    $Var1 = Int($Var2)
EndIf

This should do the job.

Now $Var1 is Int and you no longer required to use Int()

>> To point out this is the weakness of this, it gets confusing when your program becomes big(hard to find bug)

I don't know what printing the variable is but...

this worked, thanks for the fast reply. I was looking for something like this in the help file but I didn't see the Int() function.

both of y'alls help is much appreciated >_<
