Hi Folks

I know its possible to use the string syntax  '%foo%'  where is foo is 
an input value from a httml <input type="hidden" name="foo" value="haggis"

is it possible to use a numerical value with the same syntax ?

eg

                   %foo% lt 50000

where


<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="5000"

Line 326 of mapparser.y( map server 4.10) seems to indicate for 
numerical expressions a % is always used as an operator

I am trying to pass a varible in to a cgi version of mapscript and do a 
numerical comparsion

 From the documntation it appears that saying

    expression "[foo]" gt "5000" will not work as expected, is this 
correct ?/

Dave.
