Data read from text-mode file handles comes in the form of strings. You can't compare strings directly against numbers, but if the string contents represent numbers, then you can convert types:

bal2 = tonumber(h.readAll())

When comparing strings against strings, than alphabetical ordering is used to get the results.

1000 > 999      --# true
"1000" > "999"  --# false

Okay thank you so much :)/>
