Code:

if %str1%==%str2%
str1 = Yess!!!
else
str1 = not again...

I wanna compare str1 and str2. And it always false. So else command executing. I was trying

Code:

if %str1%=%str2%

Code:

if str1=str2

but no luck. And strings are actually identical, on most test cases.

Try

Code:

String1=Text
String2=Text
GoSub, Test ;Should evaluate true

String2=Toast
GoSub, Test ;Should evaluate false
Return

Test:
If (String1 = String2) ;Functions assume you give them variable names (no % needed)
   MsgBox WooHoo!
Else
   MsgBox BooHoo!
Return

Thank you very much - it works your way.

Duh, that %var% and just var and := and = are freaking confusing.

Nah it is not working in cases where difference is only case of letters.
And I got

Code:

StringCaseSense, On

inside my script! :evil:

Code:

String1=Text
String2=tEXT
GoSub, Test ;Should evaluate false, for me "Test"<>"tEST" but If claim strings are identical:(

Test:
If (String1 = String2) 
   MsgBox babah 
Else
   MsgBox boobah
Return

Do yourself a favour and save the time you need to post - to check the manual for the additional information which is linked within the text, eg ...

StringCaseSense --> Expression comparison operators -->

Quote:

Equal (=) , case-sensitive-equal (==) , and not-equal (<> or !=). The operators != and <> are identical in function. The == operator behaves identically to = except when either of the inputs is not a number, in which case == is always case sensitive and = is always case insensitive (the method of insensitivity depends on StringCaseSense). By contrast, <> and != obey StringCaseSense. Note: A quoted literal string such as "55" is always considered non-numeric in this context.

Thank you - somehow

Code:

If str1 = %str2%

works case sensitive way.
