[SOLVED] Using If functions to check a variable Topic is solved

[schwarzgrau]

I try to write a script, which checks if a stencil is active, but it seems I'm handling the request the wrong way.

Code: Select all

//======= GET ID =======//

tv_LayerGetID 0
Lid = Result 				

tv_layerstencil Lid
PARSE result Lid STon STstyle

IF (STon == "on")
	PRINT "It is on"
ELSE
	PRINT "It is off"
END

If I PRINT STon I get "on" or "off", but I can't get the if function work, no matter if I write IF (STon == "on") or IF (STon == on)

when testing a string you need to use the compare command:

try:
IF CMP(STon, "on")==1

Thank you a lot, now it works.

[ini]

IF CMP(Ston, "on")
-
ELSE
-
END

It works too.

Sorry I don't understand what you said. It wanted to say, that it works, after using the way Svengali described.
