FBA The Creator

The help says, "Conversely, whenever a number is used where a string is expected, the number is converted to a string, in a reasonable format." However, I've found that to not always be the case when using the string functions.

For example, this:

temp=1234
test=temp.byte(3)
debug(test)

function onmainloop()
end

gives you an error: "attempt to index global 'temp' (a number value)".

Which is right? Should I be able to use the string functions on a number, or should I need to convert a number to string first?

For now I will do what works. Thanks!

weird behaviour! it works if you "force" coercion using string concatenation operator

temp=1234
test=""..temp  
test=test.byte(3)
debug(test)

the same behaviour shows the win32 version as the picture shows



I suppose this bug belongs to the lua library, so the better place to post this bug is to lua support team.
