problem with "if"

[jackraymund]

if "c937ce9cfc504995e08c10dfad9e76e6" <> 0 then msgbox(0,"","")

but that works

if not "c937ce9cfc504995e08c10dfad9e76e6" = 0 then msgbox(0,"","")

its the same, but why first didnt work, and second work?...

You should get a message with both because you use the boolean NOT operator on the second example. Both expressions evaluate to True. In fact both expressions say the same thing. Edited January 9, 2013 by czardas

but i getting message only with second, first didnt work... try it

if "c937ce9cfc504995e08c10dfad9e76e6" <> 0 then consolewrite("1" & @CRLF)

if not "c937ce9cfc504995e08c10dfad9e76e6" = 0 then consolewrite("2" & @CRLF)

@edit

if not "c937ce9cfc504995e08c10dfad9e76e6" <> 0 then consolewrite("3" & @CRLF)

that return false too...

only 2 strings works, why?

jackraymund,

read the help file section operators.

strings are converted to numbers using "Number"

The "Not" operator has a higher precedence than "="

Okay I made a mistake. I get what's going on now. Compare the following:

if not "c937ce9cfc504995e08c10dfad9e76e6" = 0 then msgbox(0,"","Without parenthesis")

if not ("c937ce9cfc504995e08c10dfad9e76e6" = 0) then msgbox(0,"","With parenthesis")
