Synopsis

getApplicationVersionAsFloat()

Return the application version number as a float value.

If you use the "about -version" command you get a string value containing the application version. Strings of course may not be used in comparisons like:

if ($version > 3.5) { ... };

This procedure will return a float value containing the major and minor version number. The major version will be separated from the minor version by a decimal. For example, 4.0.3 will return a float value of 4.03.

Return value

None
