comparing filegetversions

[gcue]

i am comparing software versioning but cannot seem to get a proper reading..

the script below doesnt show that the $local_version < $remote_version

$local_version = "10.20.0.0"
;~ $remote = "9.0.0.0"
$remote_version = "10.20.0.1"

if Number($local_version) < Number($remote_version) Then
    ConsoleWrite("exiting" & @lf)
EndIf

the help file says Number("3.14") ;returns 3.14

any ideas?

The way I would do it (and some of the experts can correct me if I'm wrong...) would be to use StringCompare:

$local_version = "10.20.0.0"
;~ $remote = "9.0.0.0"
$remote_version = "10.20.0.1"

$test = StringCompare($local_version,$remote_version)

If $test = 0 Then
    ConsoleWrite("Strings are the same..." & @CRLF)
ElseIf $test > 0 Then
    ConsoleWrite("Local is greater than remote" & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Remote is greater than local" & @CRLF)
EndIf

actually it doesnt work... as shown here:

$local_version = "10.20.0.0"
$remote_version = "9.0.0.0"

$test = StringCompare($local_version,$remote_version)

If $test = 0 Then
    ConsoleWrite("Strings are the same..." & @CRLF)
ElseIf $test > 0 Then
    ConsoleWrite("Local is greater than remote" & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Remote is greater than local" & @CRLF)
EndIf
