What logic to use

[shiv]

Hi All,

Let us say:

$V = "5.6.7.8"

$M = "current version is 5.6.7.8"

One way to compare both is

"current version is" & $V == $M

and my test will get pass

--------

But i just want to make it more generic, I do not want to concatenate "current version is" with $V.

is there some other way that if i can use some regular expressions in place of "current version is" if yes please elborate how

Thanks

Try this.

Local $V = "5.6.7.8"
Local $M = "current version is 5.6.7.8"

; $V in $M must be at the start of the line or have a leading space; or,
; $V in $M must be at the end of the line or have a trailing space.
If StringRegExp($M, "(?m)(^|\h)" & $V & "(\h|$)") Then
    MsgBox(0, "Results", "Test Passed")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Results", "Test Failed")
EndIf

Edit: Removed ".|" out of StringRegExp($M, "(?m)(^|h)" & $V & "(h|.|$)"), because the trailing dot was allowing "5.6.7.8.2" to pass, which is incorrect. Edited November 21, 2013 by Malkey

another take on the regex, grab the string if it's at a word boundary at front and rear.

StringRegExp($M,'\b' & $V & '\b')
