<body class='hmmessage'>Since our LSL implementation (still) is based on substitution; and some things are harder to substitute than others, the 'OSSL way of doing it' would probably be to write<BR>
<BR>
f = float.Parse(s);<BR><BR>
instead<BR>
<BR>
Of course, if any of the LSL implementors would want to toy around with it, substituting "(\s*float\s*)" with something like "(OSSLFloat)" and then implementing an OSSLFloat class as a float wrapper, with some implicit cast operators, would probably float the boat.<BR>
<BR>
of course, the same thing goes for the othe numeric types as well. You might even want to create a generic numeric wrapper OSSLNumeric<T>.<BR>
