simple but strange problem

[ForexGG]

here is my code

$QUOTE_STA = IniRead("test.ini", "QUOTE", "QUOTE_STA", "NONE")
$QUOTE_END = IniRead("test.ini", "QUOTE", "QUOTE_END", "NONE")

MsgBox(0,"",$QUOTE_END & "  " & $QUOTE_STA)
MsgBox(0,"", $QUOTE_END >= $QUOTE_STA)

Read in $QUOTE_END is 100 and $QUOTE_STA is 99.05

why the results gives me false?

Below is my test.ini file

[QUOTE]
QUOTE_STA = 99.05
QUOTE_END = 100

I can put Number($QUOTE_END) to make it ture, but why should I do that?

Because else you are comparing 2 strings, so you need to convert it to a number when reading from the INI file.

I can put Number($QUOTE_END) to make it ture, but why should I do that?

I think because of this:

'1' < '2' < '3' < ... < '9' < 'a' < 'b' < 'c' ...

(Variables are basicaly Variant, not Numbers)
