Difference between = and ==


Recommended Posts

i whud just for fun change

MsgBox(1, "", "")

to

MsgBox(1, "", '"'&_IEPropertyGet($oQuery, "outertext")&'"')

to see if result is identical on = and ==

Nice one, the output is 0 on "=" and the string when using "==" ... but then why does it "enter" the ifstatement if it is 0 and not "Controle & Oplevering".

So i know you found a way to hack-around the code to make it work... which is always bad unless you're a manager on commission...

however when you tested this, did you perform a multi-run test on both instances (20+ tests) to ensure that what you are saying is 100% accurate? It 100% of the time only works when used with "==" and 100% of the time fails when used with "=" ?

The issue here doesn't make sense that it would have to do with "==" and "=" because you're saying your msgbox() pops up every time. The issue has to lie with $oQuery.click. Since it is a method, it's supposed to be called as $oQuery.click() as Trancexx has explained, which you stated that in your entire code, you've neglected to use the braces. Although you say it does work, it's not the way it's meant to be written and should be changed throughout to avoid any future errors in both logic and implementation.

And I apologize if I missed it, but you didn't state whether or not you had appended the braces to the method to see if it creates the same issue.

Hi, thanks for the reply. If i insert $oQuery.click() it gives the same outcome..

And yes, it is 100% accurate.. i tested this over 100 times.

@notsure its not a nice one, if something doesnt work you need to ckeck for errors, i dont know the tupe of error that is happening but im shure that water-s code whud reproduce something similar but i hardly think someone tested this suggestion, note that in time of error in most functions they do return 0.

so im just gona repeat the trancexx words.

That's very likely just bad coding.

So, it is good coding if something works with "==" and if I delete 1 "=" its named bad coding? Please explain whats bad about the code? This is the only code i have, so you (or trancexx) should be able to point out what's bad about this code?

Anyway, i tested Water's method, but @error also gives 0 and most of the times that means > 0 ($_IEStatus_Success) = No Error

I dont know where i can check the error-code for a ***.click method?

Bad coding is:

  • Not to check if the function you called is successful
Will extend the list after I checked your code ...

Give this a try and post the results:

$oTagCollection = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "TD")
ConsoleWrite("GetCollection: " & @error & "-" & (IsObj($oTagCollection)) & @CRLF)
For $oTag In $oTagCollection
    $sProperty = _IEPropertyGet($oTag, "outertext")
    ConsoleWrite("Property: " & ">" & $sProperty & "<" & @CRLF)
    If $sProperty = "Controle & Oplevering" Then
        MsgBox(1, "", "")
        $oTag.click()
        ConsoleWrite("Click: " & @error & @CRLF)
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
_IELoadWait($oIE)

Ok thanks, I understand.

This works tho;

If string(_IEPropertyGet($oQuery, "outertext")) = string("Controle & Oplevering") Then

So its comparing a string to an integer and thinks its equal.... interesting.

AutoIt doesn't "think" - it has strict "rules" how to process your script. One of this "rules" is how to handle strings. Check this.

I know, its logic, but i'm trying to figure out the logic.

I think i get it;

It compares integer vs string.

The outcome of number("Controle & Oplevering") will be 0

So the IFstatement matches.

Then it will try to $oQuery.click a control which does not exist on the webpage.

Right?

Right.

Did you run my extended version of the script I posted above?

This still does not answer the main question, but ok :)

Did you read my post (#38) or look at the example code?

The "=" operator treats "" and 0 and Chr(0) and False as all the same.

The "==" operator discriminates between them. I've found it very useful to tell the difference between a 0 and an empty/null string ("").

$oQuery isn't defined.

Sorry. Replace "$oQuery.click()" with "$oTag.click()"

Ye i did, and it gives a totally different outcome... the "==" reads another table than "=" in the HTML doc.

As said, i cannot post the total-outcome because of companyinfo.

Small example;

-------CUT ALOT OF DATA--------------

Property: >0<
Property: >COMPANY INFO
Property: >31/01/07 08:33<
Property: >14/02/07 01:15 <
Property: >0<
Property: >0<
Property: >IP Services Basis<
Property: >31/01/07 08:33<
Property: >05/02/07 08:39 <
Property: >0<
Property: >0<
Property: >COMPANY INFO
Property: >31/01/07 08:33<
Property: >05/02/07 08:39 <
Property: >0<
Property: >0<
Property: >COMPANY INFO
Property: >31/01/07 08:33<
Property: >05/02/07 08:39 <
Property: >0<
Property: >0<
Property: >COMPANY INFO
Property: >31/01/07 08:33<
Property: >05/02/07 09:08 <
Property: >0<
Property: >0<
Property: >COMPANY INFO
Property: >31/01/07 08:33<
Property: >04/03/09 08:37 <
Property: >0<
Property: >0<
Property: >Controle & Oplevering<
Click: 0

This goes for the "=="

GetCollection: 0-1
Property: > <
Property: >  <
Property: >COMPANY INFO
 <
Property: > <
Property: >   
Order Manager
Order Overzicht
Wachtende orders
Foutieve orders
Opgeleverde orders

Service Manager
Order Overzicht

This goes for the "="

So, it is good coding if something works with "==" and if I delete 1 "=" its named bad coding? Please explain whats bad about the code?

Bad coding is everything you do witout checking

so

if Not @error And $returndata Then

so check return data and check if something is inside

== is correct way to compare 2 strings and shud not be called workaround in this case.

Can you explain why you have

_IELoadWait($oIE)
at the end of your script?

Shouldn't it be at the top so the script waits until the page is completely loaded?

The only 2 lines above this part of code are the IE include and _IEATTACH.

In case of the "oquery.click" it clicks a javalink inside a webpage, so its gonna load.

The website is build with links like this;

<tr class="uneven_link" onclick="location.href='?page=bla bla bla'">

So there is no other way to "click" the link IMO. Also _IEnavigate is more complex as i need to trim the variables from the URL given in location.href... there are alot of numbers i need inside the link to perform _IEnavigate properly. Thats why I like this way more.

Edit; did you see the outcome of the properties... (from your code)? Kinda strange if you ask me.
