Converting numbers to text and back

[Ken Ray]

Dar,

I'm not sure what you mean... Rev does this conversion automatically for
you, so if you do something like:

on mouseUp
  put "123.456" & empty into tNumString
  set the numberFormat to "###.##"
  put (tNumString+0)
end mouseUp

You end up getting:

123.46

in the message box. Is this not what you want?
