Number() - case sensivity with scientific notation by using $NUMBER_AUTO

[AspirinJunkie]

Following Script:

$sIntUpper = "12345E5"
$sIntLower = "12345e5"

$sFloatUpper = "1.2345E5"
$sFloatLower = "1.2345e5"

ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("\n     xxx -> Number(xxx)\n% 8s -> %10d (Type: %s)\n% 8s -> %10.0f (Type: %s)\n% 8s -> %10.0f (Type: %s)\n% 8s -> %10.0f (Type: %s)\n\n", _
        $sIntUpper, Number($sIntUpper), VarGetType(Number($sIntUpper)), _
        $sIntLower, Number($sIntLower), VarGetType(Number($sIntLower)), _
        $sFloatUpper, Number($sFloatUpper), VarGetType(Number($sFloatUpper)), _
        $sFloatLower, Number($sFloatLower), VarGetType(Number($sFloatLower)) ))

produces:

     xxx -> Number(xxx)
 12345E5 ->      12345 (Type: Int32)
 12345e5 -> 1234500000 (Type: Double)
1.2345E5 ->     123450 (Type: Double)
1.2345e5 ->     123450 (Type: Double)

The capitalized letter "E" is recognized as an exponential character only if a decimal separator appears before it.

This is not the case for the lowercase "e".
