Title: Re: Basic casting question
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.

Stéphane

I think that the problem is where the coercion is happening
set
r to "339.700012"
r
as real   -->> 339.700012
But if I try
class
of r as real  -->> Can’t make text into type real.
If you try
class
of (r as real) -->>  Real

So maybe you just need some parenthesis in some place..
