String Matching

[OldGeek]

I'm having trouble testing if two string variables match. Below is my code (sorry I know know how to embed this correctly)

// Testing String Matching

Let>IGNORESPACES=1
Let>VAREXPLICIT=1

Let>str_One=A
Let>str_Two=B
If str_One=str_Two
MessageModal>Method One Match
Else
MessageModel>No match with method one
EndIf

Let>str_One={"A"}
Let>str_Two={"B"}
If %str_One%=%str_Two%
MessageModal>Match Two Match
Else
MessageModel>No match with method two
EndIf

Hi,

If --> if>
MessageModel --> MessageModal

Code: Select all

Let>IGNORESPACES=1
Let>VAREXPLICIT=1

Let>str_One=A
Let>str_Two=B

If>str_One=str_Two
MessageModal>Method One Match
Else
MessageModal>No match with method one
EndIf

Let>str_One={"A"}
Let>str_Two={"B"}

If>str_One=str_Two
MessageModal>Match Two Match
Else
MessageModal>No match with method two
EndIf

Two issues :

1. You forgot the chevron after If. So :

Code: Select all

If>

2. You had MessageModel twice instead of MessageModal

Code: Select all

Let>IGNORESPACES=1
Let>VAREXPLICIT=1
Let>str_One=A
Let>str_Two=B
If>str_One=str_Two
MessageModal>Method One Match
Else
MessageModal>No match with method one
EndIf
Let>str_One={"A"}
Let>str_Two={"B"}
If>%str_One%=%str_Two%
MessageModal>Match Two Match
Else
MessageModal>No match with method two
EndIf

To display code select your text and then click the fifth button along in the editor. the one that looks like this : </>

Snap! Two for the price of one.

Thank you everyone who kindly replied. You have no idea how long I stared at that small bit of code and didn't see the typos. I'm sure it would a huge undertaking to add syntax checking to the editor but, I miss that feature.

If your command doesn't change colour, it's not been recognized. You should also see a little syntax helper at the bottom of the window. If you don't see that and/or it does not progress as you add parameters, then the command has not been recognized. Also once you type the first 3 letters of a command, it will make suggestions. Down arrow and enter will complete that for you.
