Talk:LlGetListEntryType

List entries that are strings, but look like other types

(Maybe there's a shorter title for this topic?)

Most of us who have ever had to "unserialize" know that this function returns a type of TYPE_STRING when we have ["<123, 45.4, 0>"]. I have a list coming to me that is like unto ["blah", "133", "1.04"]. So far I can find out what is an integer by using this magic:

    tempStr = llList2String(raw, index);
    if ((string) ((integer) tempStr) == tempStr) { // Test for integer,
        ....
    }

An else will handle the string nicely, as anything that is not an integer/float/etc. is therefore a string... But I can't figure out how to detect a float. Any ideas?
