What exactly is your end goal on this, that is _why_ do you need to separate them? Token filtering won't help, since numbers have already been tokenized prior to coming to the filter. So you'll get "<number>"+X or "<string>"+Y or "for" and other tokens. If you require different behaviour, you'll probably need to do a dbl () function (s.a. dbl(255)) that would wrap the number into a userdata. I'd hate to do such in my code!

But let's hear, what is your actual problem? :)

Hi,
Is there a way to use token filtering in Lua to distinguish {255, 1,
1, 255} from {255., 1., 1., 255.} in C? I'd like the former to
resolve as int and the later to resolve as floats.
thanks,
wes
