Comparing version numbers

[bratton]

Hello,

Need some help figuring out how to compare variables.

Here's my example of a comparison that works:

$var = "1.2.3"

$var1 = "1.2.4"

if $var < $var1 then msgbox (0,"", "True")

The problem is, I need the operator to be a variable as well. I've been trying to use Exeucte(), but the problem is that it fails if there is more than one decimal in the string.

For example:

$var = "1.2.3"

$var1 = "1.2.4"

$operator = "<"

$return = Execute ($var & $operator & $var1)

msgbox (0,"", $return)

Have you seen _VersionCompare() in the helpfile?

No Jos,

No, I had not seen that. Looks promising though. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks from me too...

I was just looking for a "version comparison".
