Variables with decimals?

I have an ini file with only one object, "version". At this moment, it is 2.40 but that's subject to change.

However, when I assign that same object to a global variable (tried setting it to both number and text), it goes down to 2. At least that's what the text box I placed says.

It is really important that it stays at 2.40 (including the 0).

Thanks in advance.

Use the str() expression to save it as a string.

If you need a specific number of decimals, you better use FormatDecimal(number, N), because str() will convert 2.40 to "2.4", omitting the last 0

With FormatDecimal(2.4, 2) you will get a string with 2 digits for the decimals "2.40"

Likewise, FormatDecimal(2.41, 3) will return "2.410", etc.
