Any particular reason that eval() does not work here?

[VirtualVirgin]

eval() is not returning a value here.
Does in not work in an inline function or loop?

It works fine in the main code space:

What is the end goal?

[VirtualVirgin]

@d-healey I was using "getIntValue()" here, but I decided I wanted to accept decimals as numerator to get beat values such as "1.5/4" as opposed having to use "3/8" when representing dotted note values. It would be more human-readable I think,

@VirtualVirgin I'm still not clear, is the goal to turn text into numbers?

[VirtualVirgin]

@d-healey Yes, just trying to turn the string "1.5" into the number 1.5.

@VirtualVirgin parseFloat

@d-healey Thank you!
That is going on my list.
I'm keeping a list of methods that are not found in the docs.

@VirtualVirgin parseInt and trace

I think I made a video about undocumented functions (if I didn't I should).
