Integer bug or my code problem?

[mianz]

$datesplit = _StringSplit("18/11/2008", "/")

$date_day = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 128, 176, 38, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))

GUICtrlSetData(-1, "1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31")

If $datesplit[0] < GUICtrlRead($date_day) Then

call("test")

lets say $datesplit[0] = 20 and GUICtrlRead($date_day) = 8

by right this shouldn't call test function, but it does.

if

$datesplit[0] = 20 and GUICtrlRead($date_day) = 16

this works fine as it won't call the function

if

$datesplit[0] = 20 and GUICtrlRead($date_day) = 23

this works fine as it call the function

i found that it only did not work if GUICtrlRead($date_day) is from 1 to 9

i try to edit the combo box

$date_day = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 128, 176, 38, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))

GUICtrlSetData(-1, "01|02|03|04|05|06|07|08|09|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31")

now everything works perfectly fine. why is this so?

It's a common brain problem

Try this

if "20" < "8" Then
  ConsoleWrite("????" & @CRLF)
  EndIf

You are using strings but you think you are using numbers. You need to convert variables to Number before you compare them as numbers.

If Number($datesplit[0]) < Number(GUICtrlRead($date_day)) Then
      call("test")
Endif

Hi mianz,

I assume that Autoit sees the contents of your variables as strings.

If this is true then a left to right comparison is done and therefore stops after the

first character as "2" (as in "20") is lower then "8".

Check the datatype with "Ifstring($datesplit[0])"
