Code:

atom/var
    value = "0B"
    hexbackup = "11"

proc/text2atom(string, list/options = typesof(/atom))
    if(string)
        for(. in options)
        
            var/atom/atom = .
            
            if(atom.value && atom.value == string) 
                return atom
                
        return string
    
    return 0



runtime error: Cannot read /atom/pie (/atom/pie).value
proc name: text2atom (/proc/text2atom)

it is as the error says, you can not read a value from a (direct) path.

However, if you made a new object, it should work:
var/atom/atom = new .

That's what I thought at first, too, but it gave me this error:

<font color=red> 
runtime error: bad loc

DivineO\'peanut (/mob): both()

By any chance, is the string you're using in this format: "/mob/blarg" ?
