If statement quirk or am I having a senior moment again ?

[SuitedAces]

Code: Select all

Let>NumOfUsers=False
Let>MinNumberOfUsers=5

If>%NumOfUsers%=False
Ask>no users,continue
If>%continue%=NO
Exit>0
EndIf
Endif

If>%NumOfUsers%<MinNumberOfUsers>not enough users,continue
If>%continue%=NO
Exit>0
EndIf
EndIf


If>{(%NumOfUsers%=False)OR(%NumOfUsers%<MinNumberOfUsers>no users, or not enough users
Else
Message>user count is good
EndIf  

Set the NumOfUsers to either False or a number.

The 'False' is not working in the complex If statement
But it works by itself in the first If .

Again my code is getting scrambled when I paste it.

LOL

Let me fix it first.

False is actually a string. In MacroScript there are just strings and numbers.

So if you move to using a complex expression, which requires strings in quote delimiters you must do:

If>{(%NumOfUsers%="False") OR .....

Ok thank you I will try that.

It is frustrating to learn that False works in a regular If statement but not in a complex If statement.

Did I miss some small print in the help, is it in help?

This inability to paste code with out it getting scrambled drives me nuts .
Maybe taking a screenshot is better and less aggravating.

Ok I see that it will take FALSE in all caps but the complex If statement will not take False.
