When combined with the count command, this can be used to read all entries out of a config; even when you don't know exactly how many entries there will be. See the notes under count for more info.

Rounding of fractions with select is not the same as when you use round command: _roundThis = 0.5; hint str ([0,1] select _roundThis); //0 hint str round _roundThis; //1
