oh mate, thats bad.

you cannot lead people to believe that you must have vcmp. as part of the alias name.

Do you know how silly that sounds ?

kind regards

Accepted Solution:

Code: [Select]

alias SetWholeNumber !return $iif($gettok($1,2,46) >= 5,$ceil($1),$floor($1))

no offense intended Skirmant, but your an idiot!


the alias name is irreverent, as long as you don't have any conflicting names,

unless you apply the -l switch which stands for "local alias".

it makes NO difference to the result if the alias is vcmp.blah or just blah

I wish that you would take those words back

ok, yea, sorry for pissing you off. but my way is right.

lets look at this from another angle.

why do you think the alias name should be prefixed with vcmp.  ?

can you check you have no other alias names with SetWholeNumber for me.

PS. your way is right too, btw.

Im just interested why its returning 8 when a value of 4.5 is passed to it. as its only returning $celi or $floor of 4.5

I pretty much searched everywhere there doesn't seem to be another one.
And I have no idea why it works with vcmp. attached to it. Infact it works with anything attached to it.

well, as long as i know the calculation works, the alias name seem to be the problem (im putting that down to a conflicting name in your script)
