data comparison OR use variable without the ""

Guye over 11 years ago

Hi,

when assigning a variable with a text or a number there are "" with it.

for example:

aaa="name"

aaa will be "name" and not name .

same with numbers.

bbb="0.0"

bbb will be "0.0" and not 0.0

is there any way to remove the ""?

when using this varible - the comparison is problematic.

see example:

if(aaa=name then

do something

else

do something else

)

is there any way to remove the "" or just ignore it when using the variable?

Thanks,

Guy

Try one of these:
aaa='name
or
if( stringToSymbol(aaa)=='name then

Thanks!
it works just fine.
one other issue, how can i print (printf/fprintf etc.) a sentence without the ""

for example:
fprintf(list("the time is:" getCurrentTime())
this prints:
"the time is:" `the current time`
i would like to print:
the time is: `the current time`

thanks,
Guy
