Why can't a list of numbers be combined?

Post by trevordevore » Sat Mar 21, 2015 6:45 am

I am generating a list from a string and then converting the list to a list of numbers:

Code: Select all

put tList parsed as list of number into tList
I then want to combine that list later on in order to output it as a string.

Code: Select all

combine tList with ","
When I do, however, I get the following error:

"cannot combine list with non-string elements"

I would think that the numbers could be converted to strings for me. Is this a bug, intended behavior, or "not implemented yet" behavior?

I believe this is "not implemented yet" behaviour.
