if statement

[durana]

Hello ,

I have a question about the if statement. This one is not working for me, even when I copy from the example in the help function.

What do I do wrong ?

//complex expression:
IF>{(%a% = 5) AND (%VarA% = "allen")}
//do something
ELSE
//do something else
ENDIF


- The editor doesn't understand the endif statement also...
- why don't I see in the example see ">" afther else en endif.
- the and and or are not working also........

strange ..

Thanks if someone can check this out.

Regards Duran

Hi,

Works fine for me. Of course you do need to initialise those variables or it will fail:

Let>a=5
Let>VarA=allen
IF>{(%a% = 5) AND (%VarA% = "allen")}
MessageModal>True
ELSE
MessageModal>False
ENDIF

Check for trailing spaces when you paste this into the editor.

The following script works perfectly fine.
Let>a=3
Let>VarA=Armstrong
//complex expression:
IF>{(%a% = 5) AND (%VarA% = "allen")}
//do something
ELSE
//do something else
ENDIF

Hello,

When I do the same, the script continues after the first stament to the else statement.

And like I said, i looks like the endif is not recognized.

Strange .... i have version 7.2.050 is this the problem probably ?

AH! LOL! ELSE/ENDIF wasn't added until 7.3. So, yes, that's your problem. The version you have doesn't support complex expressions either. See history list here:
