Actually, Robert... it does make a difference and I switched to your method. These are groups of numbers like...

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.

By the way, the <@IFEQUAL> tag evaluates the same way.
