RoboTask forum

hi everyone,
i've got an other bug. i want to compare two variable. i use if then...
i tell him to compare variable A and B. if it's equal then....
but it doesn't work. robotask always act like the two variable are not equal, even if they are.
anyone have an idea?
by the way, if this software is capable of doing want my boss want, i'll buy it, so please help me out.

Try to compare values {Variable_A} and {Variable_B}.

"If ... then" action compares the expressions and you can use variables with curly brackets "{}". In other actions too.

hi oleg,
here's the task. i don't know if it will work but if you can, please tell me why it is not working, because i don't know. the two variable are the same and it's robotask act like they are not the same.

i don't know if it's the right way to use the if and then, but any help is welcome.
by the way, by boss like your soft and he will surely buy it before the next year.

the two variable are the same and it's robotask act like they are not the same

Are you sure?

Insert "Show message" action before "If..then" with text:
NOM_COMPLET = {NOM_COMPLET}
NOM_2 = {NOM_2}

and, maybe, you will see an error.

BTW: where did you assign variable NOM_COMPLET?

hi oleg,
i assign the variable from a other task that run before this task. i tell RT to go in the excel file then take the first field copy and assign the content of the clipboard to the variable NOM_COMPLET.
i insert the show message and the two variable are the same. and the RT act like it's not the same. i compare two full name, maybe it doesn't like the space between the first and the last name?
but if you don't have this probleme, it's okay. my boss told me it wasn't a probleme. so thanks for your help.

i compare two full name, maybe it doesn't like the space between the first and the last name?

Most likely. Robotask doesn't use a "smart" comparison of strings.
