Hoping this is an easy one! Version number with 2 decimal places

[DanH]

I'm trying to compare version numbers of my software but if I type a number with 2 decimal places:

if (data.version < 2.0.1)

I get the error:

Interface:! Line 702, column 28: Found literal when expecting ')'

One decimal place works just fine

[d.healey]

@DanH Try a string ""

[DanH]

@d-healey I did, it doesn't produce an error but nor does the callback fire....

[d.healey]

@DanH And data.version is definitely less than 2.0.1?

[DanH]

@d-healey yes indeed!

I remember I tried this yonks ago and it didn't work

[d.healey]

@DanH

Works here (I'm using it for Rhapsody also). Both numbers need to be strings.

Both numbers need to be strings.

This might be where I'm going wrong in the data.... thanks

@d-healey the data in the version file is simply

{
  "version": "2.0.0"
}

[d.healey]

@DanH What do you see with

Console.print(data.version < "2.0.1");

[DanH]

@d-healey said in Hoping this is an easy one!:

Console.print(data.version < "2.0.1");

I get "0"...

[DanH]

@d-healey the below gives me an error though

Console.print(data.version);

You need to tell me what the error is.

@d-healey

API call with undefined parameter 0

[d.healey]

@DanH So data.version is undefined.

[DanH]

@d-healey yup struggling to figure out why though.... Here's a longer version of the script

inline function loadVersionFile() {
	local appDataDir = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData);
	return appDataDir.getChildFile("Version.js");
}

inline function checkOnLoadSettings()
    {
		local HVersion = loadVersionFile();
		
    		if (HVersion.isFile())
    			{
					local data = Engine.loadFromJSON("..//Version.js");
					
					if (data.version <"2.0.4")
		   				 {
								HUpdate_Panel.showControl(1);
						 }
			
						else 
							{
								HUpdate_Panel.showControl(0);
							}
				 }
		
		else
		{
			HUpdate_Panel.showControl(1);
		}
		
	}
	
checkOnLoadSettings();

[d.healey]

@DanH Use File.loadAsObject()

[DanH]

@d-healey instead of ...?

Also how do you get the red text in here?

[d.healey]

@DanH Code tags for red text (a single backtick at the start and end. `

Instead of Engine.loadFromJSON() - You already went to the trouble to get the file object so you might as well use it.

[DanH]

@d-healey Righto, thanks!
