:Using your technique to determine the type by examining the data is going to be flawed and slow. It is best to include type data in your output. Try out TightListTypeParse and TightListTypeDump on my userpage. If you are interested I'll post the Tightlist {{HoverText|ESL|Extended LSL}} header file (the advantage of that being there are extra features to the functions that aren't included by default).

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?

- Using your technique to determine the type by examining the data is going to be flawed and slow. It is best to include type data in your output. Try out TightListTypeParse and TightListTypeDump on my userpage. If you are interested I'll post the Tightlist ESL header file (the advantage of that being there are extra features to the functions that aren't included by default).
