RE: JED documentation

Is it because '08' is not a valid octal number? Does integer("8") work? The
leading '0' is often used to indicate an octal number ... from memory this
is what SLang does, though it's been a while :)

Hello,

Here's an interesting slang error.  Perhaps someone can tell me what's going
on?

The following code cannot translate the "08" into an integer.  It seems to
be
the only number that causes the problem.  Running this script gives the
error
below.

Weird!

                	Brian Blais


#!/usr/local/bin/jed -script

printf("%d\n",integer("02"));
printf("%d\n",integer("04"));
printf("%d\n",integer("06"));
printf("%d\n",integer("08"));
