Try this:

set myResult to (myResult as text ) as real

Some applications have data classes that look just like text but are really something else and can't be directly coerced to numbers.

Also, if that part of your script is in an tell application block moving it out.

Hi everyone,

I'm surprisingly stuck by a cast I try to do from a string to a real.

I have a function that returns something like "339.700012"

I want this result to be casted as a real (set myResult to myResult as real) but I always get the same error :

"can't make "339.700012" into type real"

Is there something I missed regarding casting in AS ?

Thanks.
