IF-statements

[rafleo]

It's me again... and I need help, as usual...

It seems as if I'm too stupid to make a correct "IF-statement", but I searched the whole documentation and the translated manuals in the forum, but I couldn't find one example of how to do it.

I tried this:

Code: Select all

numbers$ = ReadConfig("nums.cfg","var1")
num1$ = Right(numbers$, 2)


If num1$ = 20 Or num1$ = 25 Or num1$ = 40 Or num1$ = 50
    ...Do something...
Else 
    ...do something else...
EndIf

What am I doing wrong?
The script always does the statements of the "Else" section, but never the "If" section, even if it's true.

Thanks for your patience and help...

The num1$ variable is string type so it contains text. Your if-statement looks for real numbers. It should work if you convert the variable to an integer with int().

Code: Select all

numbers$ = ReadConfig("nums.cfg","var1")
num1$ = Right(numbers$, 2)

intnum = int(num1$)
If intnum = 20 Or intnum = 25 Or intnum = 40 Or intnum = 50
    ...Do something...
Else 
    ...do something else...
EndIf

This might work, too:

Code: Select all

numbers$ = ReadConfig("nums.cfg","var1")
num1$ = Right(numbers$, 2)


If num1$ = "20" Or num1$ = "25" Or num1$ = "40" Or num1$ = "50"
    ...Do something...
Else 
    ...do something else...
EndIf

thanks, works perfectly.

I always use "then" in my if statements... it helps me logically think it out.

if she isn't to young then I can date her or else I run away

Code: Select all

if Girlage > 19 then 
     distance = 0
else
     distance  = 1000000000000
end if
