When I enter
(type (read "0.01"))
it returns SYM instead of REAL

How is this possible?

(On another computer, with the same configuration, it does returns REAL)

Thanks!

You typed the letter "O" instead of the numeral zero.

Are you typing this manually?  If so I agree that what Owen wrote is the most likely cause.   If this is part of a lisp routine that you load then the only reasonable possibility other than typing the letter O instead of the number 0 is that the two computers do not have exactly the same software and exactly the same add-ons and lisp routines.

I've checked multiple times !!!
Both computers are running the same software and routines!!!

Hi,

On the computer which return the SYM type, is the dot (.) set as decimal separator ?

Here:
Quote
Commande: (type (read "0.0011"))
REAL
Commande: (type (read "0,0011"))
SYM

Do you mean the Windows setting?
In Windows the dot (.) is set as decimal separator.

Two things worth looking into:
1.
Check what (type (read "1")) returns on both machines.
2.
Type "0.0011" in a text file on both machines and compare the files.

"1" returns INT on both
"0.0011" returns SYM and REAL (copied from the same textfile)

On the machine returning SYM is comma a decimal separator? Its a very common problem when dealing with multiple regions.

Could I ask what software you are using and which version?  Are you loading any lisp routines or third party add-ons?  Have you tried rebooting and re-testing?  I have seen some strange things in Bricscad when local variables in lisp routines are not properly localized, but it only happens after several hours of using the program.  As far as I can tell the un-localized variables accumulate and eventually outgrow the alloted memory space and start overwriting other parts of the program's memory space.

The first time it happened, the machine was running on Bricscad 13.2.8, so I upgraded to v13.2.10 and also tried evaluation copy of v14.
Without luck.
No 3rd party software is installed.
We do use our own routines, but they run fine on 40 other machines, running on different versions of Bricscad and Autocad.

I recommend filing a bug report at the Bricscad site.  I'm not sure they can duplicate the problem but I'm sure someone there will look.

Your code worked properly on V14 here.

As a general recommendation :
If the issue is related to a specific application please mention the application and build in the original post.
I had assumed the problem related to AutoCAD 2015 ...  :|


Have a little respect for the time and effort expended by people trying to assist solve the issue.

Cop-out answer (sorry):

Have you tried uninstalling completely and then reinstalling? Sometimes a bug might have crept in (e.g. bad hard drive) and simply upgrading/updating doesn't always replace all the files.

Tested on BC V13.2.10:
Code: [Select]
(type (read "0.01")) => REALThe OS setting for the decimal separator makes no difference (dot or comma).

updating bricscad => no luck
reinstalling bricscad => no luck

I am glad that I was able to help. But I don't know if digging something up from the (very) back of your mind qualifies as 'sleuthing'. :-D
