A few weeks ago I gave someone an answer that included code similar to this:

IF Nospace(MyString) = "TestString"

And Wolfgang Kirsch pointed out the flexible comparison operators in the online help.

So the statement can be written as

IF Mystring ~= "TestString"

I have been trying to use this more as I feel it is a bit cleaner, but I tend to have a lot of <> statments like

IF Nospace(mystring) <> "TestString"

I wasn’t sure how to use the flexible comparisons without using reverse logic for that

IF mystring ~= "TestString"
    // nothing here
ELSE
    mycode here
END

But I found that you can use the NOT operator in combination with the flexible operators so, it can be written as

IF mystring NOT ~= "TestString"

Now, back to your regular schedule program….
