I doubt that this would be an issue in your case, but your method using len() doesn’t force an actual string comparison, so you will still get the incorrect response in the case of:
Value1 = 0.01 Value2 - .010 Robert From: WebDude [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Exact Numeric Character IFs 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.
