[SOLVED] Boolean condition

(1/1)

phylax:
Hi,

I have the following statements in my program:


--- Code: ---TemporaryBool:= (Variable1 <> Variable2);
...
if TemporaryBool then ProcessNotEqualCondition;
--- End code ---

Debug tells me that Variable1 and Variable2 have the same value (both are strings) yet TemporaryBool is True after the statement executes. What am I, a newbie, misunderstanding here?

Thanks in advance.

howardpc:
Does

--- Code: ---  TemporaryBool:=not SameText(Variable1, Variable2);

--- End code ---
give an identical result?

phylax:
Sorry, my mistake - the variables weren't equal after all. One of them had a single trailing space (the Trim routine solved the problem).

Thanks, howardpc - that SameText routine was new to me and I'm grateful to you for making it known to me.
