Hello @ll,

how is a string comparison done with obse / without obse?

a simple

string_var str1
string_var str2

if(str1 != str2)

won't work. Even the

sv_Compare str1 str2 > 0

does not. The latter ist for comparison string with formatted String anyway. but the first should work?
Thank you for any help.

Change to
if eval (str1 != str2)
...and they will work. The paranthesis is unnecessary, btw.


...which means that you need to change it to:
sv_Compare "%z" str1 str2
...but "> 0" doesn't seem like what you want to check for.


You need "eval" added to any "if" statements that compare strings or array content. "eval" is a way to tell the engine to use OBSE's advanced functions instead of the standard engine's, which has no idea of string or array variables.

many, many Thanks!! :icecream:
