Looping issue

[WhoKnowsWho]

I'm not sure but is this a bug??

I made the loop so that it search some values but I get 0 as a result, however when I search manually I do receive the results.

Just as @MonkeySAN mentioned, you don't need to guess whether anything was found and replaced. Instead it is enough to add logging to the code to find that out: 

loop = 0.1
for i = 0, 98 do
  print(string.format("Searching: %.15f", loop))
  gg.searchNumber(loop, gg.TYPE_DOUBLE)
  local found = gg.getResultsCount()
  print(string.format("Found: %d", found))
  gg.getResults(found)
  local edited = gg.editAll(500, gg.TYPE_DOUBLE)
  print(string.format("Edited: %d", edited))
  gg.clearResults()
  
  loop = loop + 0.1
end

This way you would see how many results were found and edited and it wouldn't be needed to guess anything.

so i changed 

loop = loop + 0.1

to

loop = string.format("%.15f", loop + 0.1)

not sure if its the correct solution..

but got this results.

In general, nothing is clear.
The script does not have to show you at all that he found something there. This is not an animation to show anything.
The fact that the values can be changed you have not shown. That they existed at the time of the search too.
In general, it's not about anything at all.

To assert something, you must prepare a reasoned justification and clear evidence that it happens this way, and not otherwise. This is not the case now.

Until that happens, there will be no conversation.

In the mean time a lot of answers here.

Yes, it saves a lot of time. Very handfull!

Since "searchNumber" function expects a string as it's first argument, numeric value is converted to string before it is used to determine what to search for.

Test code for your case from the video: 

local value = 0.1
for i = 1, 9 do
  print(value)
  value = value + 0.1
end

Code execution result: 

Spoiler

The problem should be obvious now. The solution is to not rely on automatic number to string conversion unless you are sure that it's result will be equal to what you expect.

Yes, problem is very clear. Thank you all!
