Comparing variable values in looping IF statement

[JohnOlek]

I have a script where I would like to compare the value of two variables and branch based on whether or not they are equivalent.

There is an array variable that has values of Var[1] through Var[n]

I want to write something like the following:

Code: Select all

let>counter=1
while>counter<=n
    if>%comparisonVariable%=Var[%counter%]
    // Code if values are the same
    else
    // Code if values are different
    endif
endwhile>

So the first loop would check to see if Var[1]=comparisonVariable, second loop would check if Var[2]=comparisonVariable, etc.

When I tried to implement this, it seemed like Var[%counter%] was being treated like a string.

Am I using incorrect syntax here?

I tried %Var[%counter%]% but that didn't work, and I also tried using complex expression syntax, but I couldn't get it to work.

I deleted my original code because I found a different solution to the issue I was trying to address, so the above code is just based on my memory. I would definitely like to understand the proper syntax for this for future projects, however.

Thanks in advance!

Most Macro Scheduler functions do not understand a variable in the format text_%number% which is the format for Macro Scheduler arrayed variables. The fix is to use the Let> function which does understand the arrayed variable format.

Code: Select all

let>counter=1
while>counter<=n
    Let>VarValue=Var[%counter%]
    if>%comparisonVariable%=%VarValue%
    // Code if values are the same
    else
    // Code if values are different
    endif
endwhile>

I could've sworn I actually tried that and it didn't work, but I just tested again and it worked great. Thanks!
