How Many Variables can "IF" Statement Compare?


Recommended Posts

I have 3 input boxes and I wanted to make sure all the entries entered in are equal before proceeding with the script.

The statement that I used

If ($host_Count = $ip_Count = $pw_Count)

only compared the first 2 variables and "ignored" the last variable, $pw_Count.  The script will execute regardless of what value $pw_Count holds.  Same thing happened if I were to use "AND" instead of equal sign.  How can I compare all 3 variables to make sure they all matches?

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

Which of these three will be the most reliable or which would be the "primary" varable. You can compare the other two to the most "stable" or "reliable" one and get the results you want.

It would look like 

If $host_Count and $ip_Count = $pw_Count Then

That would evaluate to true if $host_count held anything other than 0 and $ip_count was equal to $pw_count, it would not check to see if $host_count was equal to any other variable in the comparison.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

It didn't work.  :(

If ($host_Count And $ip_Count = $pw_Count) Then

$host_Count = 2, $ip_Count = 3, $pw_Count = 3, the script still executed.  The error is now reversed of what I had before with $pw_Count being ignored.

I didn't have my full thoughts together, but apparently I'm off base any way.

I'll tinker with it and get back to you

Thanks for your time

dreamzboy,

Try it like this (untested).  Note how multiple vars are displayed in once instance of msgbox...

if $host_count = $ip_count and $host_count = $pw_count then
    msgbox($mb_ok,'TRUE', $ip_count & @crlf & $host_count & @crlf & $pw_count)
Else
    msgbox($mb_ok,'FALSE', $ip_count & @crlf & $host_count & @crlf & $pw_count)
endif

edit: $MB_OK is declared in CONSTANTS.AU3

Kylomas,

I've tried your method and it tends to work with a bit of a problem as illustrated in the screenshot below.  Notice the value $host_Count and $ip_Count didn't match.  Same result with Jos's suggestion.

Since you are working with 3 values you will have 3 conditions. Try this.

If $host_Count = $ip_Count And $ip_Count = $pw_Count And $host_Count = $pw_Count Then
    MsgBox($MB_OK,'TRUE', $ip_Count & @crlf & $host_Count & @crlf & $pw_Count)
Else
    MsgBox($MB_OK,'FALSE', $ip_Count & @crlf & $host_Count & @crlf & $pw_Count)
endif

dreamzboy,

I think that the comparison should be coded like this:

#include <Constants.au3>

$host_Count = 3
$ip_Count = 2
$pw_Count= 2

If ($ip_Count = $host_Count) And ($pw_Count = $host_Count) Then ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Result!", "All match")
Else
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error!", "There is a mismatch")
EndIf
You check that both the ip and pw totals match the host total - if that is the case then all of them must be the same. It certainly works when I test it - how about you? :)

this should work to check if 3 or more variables have all the same value:

$host_Count = 2
$ip_Count = 2
$pw_Count = 2

If $host_Count = BitAND($ip_Count, $pw_Count) Then  ; <---- you can add up to 255 variables inside parenthesis
    MsgBox(0,"","all variables has same value")
Else
    MsgBox(0,"","all variables has NOT the same value")
EndIf

If you want to enforce case sensitivity, check out post #12 above (PincoPanco).  This is much less cumbersome for multiple variables.

If there were to be an empty line "@CRLF" at the end of the input string, all of the checks mentioned above would failed.  :mad2:  :P

Is there a way to check for new line so that the if statement would work as intended?  I know there's a way somewhere in the forum but if you know a quick way to fix this, please let me know.

Much appreciated,

You should probably be using a ListBox instead of an Edit control to prevent the possibility of extra lines in your data.

Thanks Mikell.  I'll give that a try.

 

You should probably be using a ListBox instead of an Edit control to prevent the possibility of extra lines in your data.

 

Can the user copy/paste a list string into the box?  I'm assuming it's one by one input.  Do you have any example?

Thanks!

Sorry guys, I just discovered that the condition is true even if all 3 inputs are zero.  This is a bug.  I do not want the script to run if there's no input.

In short, the script can be ran if all 3 inputs are the same and all 3 cannot be zero.  I'm not sure how to write the syntax or logic for it.

What I do know is that this statement does not work.

If ($host_Count = $ip_Count And $ip_Count = $pw_Count And $host_Count = $pw_Count) And (Not ($host_Count And $ip_Count And $pw_Count) = 0) Then
            Return 1;
    EndIf
