Re: BW in a search
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2007
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 68529
interpreted = N
texte = BW does seem to work with numbers - just not very large ones. When you tryto apply math to a number 16 digits or larger, WebDNA seems to change it toexponential format. Try this[math]1234567890123456[/math]You get this 1.23456789012346e+015 So if in a search context large numbers (carts, dates, etc) may getconverted into exponential format and thus the bw may not work properlyunless you leave it as text. This is a good case to keep dates in textsortable format YYYYMMDD so you can sort them alphanumerically.Just my hunch and not via testing...-----Original Message-----From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com] On Behalf OfLesterSent: Friday, February 23, 2007 2:25 PMTo: WebDNA TalkSubject: Re: BW in a search--- Donovan Brooke
