Question on iseq - MultimediaMan - 2012-11-14 09:08

Consider:

Code:

set ${some-thing} Some Device

echo ${some-thing} 

iseq ${some-thing} Some Device && goto do-this-thing || goto do-not-do-this-thing

I get a syntax error from iseq: it doesn't appear that iseq can handle whitespaces, even though the variable can (and does). I've tried single quotes and double qoutes to encapsulate the whitespace: is there something else I can use?

No, iseq does not support any quotes what so ever. You can work around it by setting the thing you want to compare against in another variable and do iseq ${var1} ${var2} && goto equal || goto not-equal

So something like this:

Code:

set ${some-thing} Some Device

 echo ${some-thing} 

set ${something-else} Some Device

 echo ${someting-else}

iseq ${some-thing} ${something-else} && goto do-this-thing || goto do-not-do-this-thing

Cheers!
