Can't get 2 stings with the same value to result True while comparing them

[TheDcoder]

Hello!... I am not in a good mood today... I am trying to solve this problem which is supposed to work... FOR SOME REASON IT IS NOT WORKING

I am not able to reproduce the problem in a test script, so I made a video (with some parts censored) to demonstrate the problem:

http://webm.land/media/yecN.webm

As you can see in the video, Both $vHash & $sServerHash are equal (1B17F2D9AB91B2D6E78C30A0E71F0EB5) but when I compare them, it results in false.... NONSENSE!!!

 

I can provide part of code or the whole code in the PM if you wish... I have been trying to solve this since 3 days but it won't work no matter what.

 

Thanks in Advance, TD...

I first would use VarGetTyp to check that both variables are of the same type.

@water Did that, both are strings

Then check the length of the strings:

If StringLen($vHash) <> StringLen($sServerHash) Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Length is not equal!")

@water OMG! $vHash is 34 & $sServerHash is 32!!! MD5 is supposed to be 32 chars long!

[water]

In a next step check the content of the strings:

For $i = 1 to StringLen($vHash)
   If StringMid($vHash, $i, 1) <> StringMid($sServerHash, $i, 1) Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Strings are different at position " $i)
Next

Great! Problem solved

This is what caused the problem:

Why did I insert a @CRLF? Because of the code in this post:

I was too lazy! I am tired now

 

A big thanks to you @water!
