So, of course " Float readFrom: '1.0000000000000000E-02' " -> 1.0
This is because Pharo only accepts lower-case letters for exponent ($e $d $q). So if you replace E with e Pharo will parse it as you wish.
Thanks all. I took this solution as the simples workaround. I overriden this method in my Pharo image:
SqNumberPasrser>>exponentLetters "current comment" ^'edqEDQ'
Now...a similar question is....is there a way to move Floats between Pharo and GemStone with SIXX *without *loosing decimals (no rounded)? Sixx in Pharo exports Floats doing #printString. So for example:
It depends how well Gemstone print/parse Floats...
5645.0000000000000000000000000786786 printString -> '5645.0'
Please provide a better case, because here: 5645.0000000000000000000000000786786 = 5645 So you don't loose anything... You might want to try with 0.5 successor or something like that... Note that Pharo 3.0 introduced a FloatPrintPolicy. If your default is inexact, then you might want to FloatPrintPolicy value: ExactFloatPrintPolicy new during: [ "Code to store in Sixx goes here..." ]. Nicolas I loose info. So what is the alternative?
