  • If anyone reading this doesn't know what LT and GT mean, then it's less than, and greater than. I used these acronyms due to Youtube refusing to accept the normal character symbols. Computer programmers are or certainly become accustomed to using both the character symbols as well as -lt and -gt for comparison operators.

    Very appreciable demo and walk-through! So thanks, to both Mingyi and tabletools2 here, for this video.

    And now it's time to install this extension.

  • @mikecorbeil Thanks! BTW if anyone else wants to post a question, I encourage you to post questions to TT2 Firefox addon page (just search for TableTools2 on Google, 1st result) through email link on right. I don't use this email at all, so Youtube notification of new comments on video won't reach me.

  • Thanks for this demo and i wish there were demo videos for plenty of other top- and highly-rated add-ons at mozilla[dot]org. I just learned about this add-on minutes ago for the first time, since it's in the list of top-rated extensions at mozilla.

    But, at 1:59 in this video, the narrator demos a context search based on numbers LT10 and GT -5. Two records result, but one with a negative number has -83.48, or -83.48 E -4, and -83 is much LT -5, not GT -5.

    So, please explain.

  • @mikecorbeil Sorry for the late reply. It's because -83.43E-4 is scientific notation, meaning it's -83.43 x 0.0001 = -0.008343 and it's bigger than -5. I also demonstrate a point here that while "- 83.48 E -04" does not work in Javascript as scientific notation due to the spaces, TableTools2 actually tries to salvage incorrectly formatted scientific numbers and properly sort/filter/... on them. TT2 tries same thing for date/time, European styled numbers (through Options/Context menu) ...

    And thanks for that reply, as well.

  • @tabletools2 No need to apologize about being tardy. I only posted 2 weeks ago, which isn't long ago, and we all have things to do in our lives besides sitting around checking or waiting for online responses. I take them as they come and sometimes get no reply or replies.

    So, thanks for the reply and fine explanation.
