Appreciate the help from both Robert and Anthony. I did get it to work using Robert's method. I also came up with
<@IF EXPR="'000' = '0' AND 'len(000)' = 'len(0)'" TRUE ="true" FALSE="false"> which seems to work for what I am trying to do.

This will be False. OR <@IF expr=" <@CIPHER hash md5 <@VAR input1> = <@CIPHER hash md5 <@VAR input2>> "> Since the MD5 hash of 0 is different from 00, this will be False. This trick also allows you to do case sensitive string comparisons, where @IF normally is case insensitive. Robert PS. Both of these short-comings are issues that should be corrected. I'll add them to my to-do list.

I went through the manual and I am a bit confused. I thought that if you used single quotes, it would look at the expression as a character compare rather then a numeric compare. For example... > > <@IF EXPR="'00000 = '0'" TRUE ="They really are not the same - one has a lot more zeros then the other" FALSE="They are the same"> > > I have a client who has numeric codes that can start with multiple zeros and I need to be able to get a true or false depending on the actual characters rather then the numeric value. > > 00000 = 0 would then be false. > > Probably a stupid fix, I just cannot see it. By the way, the <@IFEQUAL> tag evaluates the same way.
