Re^2: perl6: problem with prompt

i have tried your suggestion:

my $num = prompt("Please write a number : ");
say $num.PARROT;
$num +=3;
say $num.PARROT;
[download]

the result is this:
String
Num

it gives the same result whether the number below 10 or more

sorry moritz, i have'nt the tools to build it, it needs a c compiler, regarding the above example: in the domain of negative numbers the results is correct for any numbers such as entering number -7 will give the results -7 -4 thanks	[reply]

it is solved now in the windows binaries dated 2010-06-15, downloaded from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/parrotwin32/files/] the prompt function now works as supposed to correctly, thanks for moritz, and for other perl6 developers.	[reply]

Hi after a lot of trials i have succeeded in installing the latest rakudo from source on windows xp, the above problem is the same, it seems prompt function adds additional letter to the right of the one digit number , i can get around such behaviour with this code until the problem resolved in future releases: `use v6; my $num = prompt("Please write a number : "); if $num.chars == 2 {$num = substr $num, 0, 1;} say $num; $num +=3; say $num;` [download] regards	[reply] [d/l]
