Attempt to compare string <= number

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

Well I wanted to do some ifs for some values and oh well…
image

Script:

local exampleSplit= examples:split(":")
tonumber(exampleSplit[1]) >= example1

This is not the full script, just an example, works the same way.

These are indeed strings that can be converted into a number. What went wrong? Am I understanding tonumber wrong?

What happened?

Thanks for help!

yea kinda… tonumber needs a argument with UTF8’s numbers only. From what i see. You should try
tonumber(exampleSplit[1]). If it still doesnt works. It means that the exampleSplit is currently having other rather than the numbers.

#3

The code that you supplied should work, not counting the misplaced bracket.

Could you send the code you’re using at the moment? tonumber always returns a number or nil, so you shouldn’t be getting the string related error.

#4 
local DarkThemeStartSplitted = plugin:GetSetting(DARK_THEME_START):split(":")
print(DarkThemeStartSplitted)
if tonumber(DarkThemeStartSplitted[1]) >= hour then
	--my code
end

Uploaded everything that is needed, and what basically causes the error.

#5

Can you add this above your if statement?
print(type(hour))

#6 
local hour = dt:FormatLocalTime("HH", "en-us")
print(type(hour))

It returned a string

#7 
local DarkThemeStartSplitted = plugin:GetSetting(DARK_THEME_START):split(":")
print(DarkThemeStartSplitted)
if tonumber(DarkThemeStartSplitted[1]) >= tonumber(hour) then
	--my code
end
