Re: Witango-Talk: Exact Numeric Character IFs
You might try, counting zeros instead of comparing values or combining count with another function. . You might split out the groups, I can't remember the function, but it groups things and then you work with groups. i.e. count(first group) compare count(second group). 000 would not equal 0 Mark On Aug 15, 2011, at 9:31 AM, WebDude wrote: > Any ideas? > > > > > From: WebDude [mailto:webd...@cipromo.com] > Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 9:39 AM > To: Witango-Talk@witango.com > Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Exact Numeric Character IFs > > This is what I need... > > 0 = 0 True > 00 = 0 False > > Simply changing the TRUE and FALSE values does not work.

Re: Witango-Talk: Exact Numeric Character IFs
In a case like this, where @IF is not precise enough, I would bring that
into JavaScript and let it do a string comparison, ie something *like *this:
<@ASSIGN tmpVar <@ARG theValue>>
<@SCRIPT>
var strTheValue = server.GetVariable('tmpVar');
if (strTheValue == '00') {
server.assignVariable('tmpFlag','1');
} else {
server.assignVariable('tmpFlag','1');
}
<@IF @@tmpFlag>

RE: Witango-Talk: Exact Numeric Character IFs
This is what I need... 0 = 0 True 00 = 0 False Simply changing the TRUE and FALSE values does not work. Both of these equate to TRUE. All of these equate to true too... <@IF EXPR="'000' = '0'" TRUE ="true" FALSE="false"> <@IF EXPR="'0' = '0'" TRUE ="true" FALSE="false"> <@IF EXPR="0 = 0" TRUE ="true" FALSE="false"> <@IF EXPR="0 = 0" TRUE ="true" FALSE="false"> <@IFEQUAL "00" "">true<@ELSE>false <@IFEQUAL "0" "0">true<@ELSE>false _ From: Bill Downall [mailto:bdown...@downallconsulting.com] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 9:24 AM To: Witango-Talk@witango.com Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Exact Numeric Character IFs John, It seems to me like you should reverse your TRUE and FALSE values.

Witango-Talk: Exact Numeric Character IFs
This has never come up before and I know it's probably a stupid question, but I am trying to write an IF statement where I need to compare characters rather then numbers. I went through the manual and I am a bit confused. I thought that if you used single quotes, it would look at the expression as a character compare rather then a numeric compare. For example... <@IF EXPR="'0 = '0'" TRUE ="They really are not the same - one has a lot more zeros then the other" FALSE="They are the same"> I have a client who has numeric codes that can start with multiple zeros and I need to be able to get a true or false depending on the actual characters rather then the numeric value. 0 = 0 would then be false. Probably a stupid fix, I just cannot see it. By the way, the <@IFEQUAL> tag evaluates the same way. I need a string comparison rather the numeric. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! John M.
