How to compare two strings with each other?

Hello,
I have modeled a formular which has a radio group and a button. Furthermore, I have one result state corresponding to each option in the radio group.
In order to determine which result state actually is to be reached I want to attach a condition to each flow to the result states that tests which option has been chosen.
Which operator can I use for writing these conditions? I have tried the "like" operator as well as the "==" operator but neither seems to work.
I have written something like:
=LIKE(@decision, 'option a')
as well as:
=(@decision=='option a')
What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you very much
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
Could this be an Upper/Lower case issue.
I tried the following expression
=(@TXT1=="opt a")
and it worked.
If you want your expression to ignore case you should use this expression:
=(UPPER(@TXT1)==UPPER("opt a"))
In case you're not sure what is the exact string in the field (@decision) you can always use the PROMPT action to display the field's value.

How to compare two strings whether both are equal while ignoring the difference in special characters (example: & vs & and many others)?

I attempted to compare two strings whether they are equal or not. They should return true if both are equal.
One string is based on Taxonomy's Term (i.e. Term.Name) whereas other string is based on String object.
The problem is that both strings which seem equal return false instead of true. Both string values have different special characters though their special characters are ＆ and &
Snapshot of different design & same symbols:
Is it due to different culture or language?
How to compare two strings whether both are equal while ignoring the difference in special characters (＆ vs &)?

Hi Jerioon,
If you have a list of possible ambiguous characters the job is going to be easy and if (＆ vs &) are the only charracters in concern awesome.
You can use the below solution.
Before comparing pass the variables through a replace function to standarize the char set.
$Var = Replace($Var,"＆","&")
This is going to make sure you don't end up with ambiguous characters failing the comparison and all the char are "&" in this case.
Similar technique is used to ignore Character Cases 'a' vs. 'A'

Link two LRT224 with each other using VPN

What's the best way to connect two LRT224 with each other, which are in two different citys?
Open VPN or IPSec?
I think Gateway to Gateway should be the right mode, but I am very unsure with the lot of settings ...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try the EasyLink VPN feature of LRT214/LRT224, which simplifies the site-to-site VPN setup.
http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=03cf456383fc4d958cf918110c7fcd42_How_to_configure_...
EasyLink VPN works in the following way conceptually.
1. At the primary site, enable EasyLink VPN Server (inbound tab on the Web GUI) and create an account (username/password) for each remote site.
2. At a remote site, enable EasyLink VPN Client (outbound tab on the Web GUI), and enters the matching account credentials (username/password).
3. The remote site will automatically reach out to the primary site to establish an IPsec tunnel.
Note: LRT224 can support up to five EasyLink VPN peers in a star VPN topology.

How to compare German strings with umlaut

hi
here is a solution for the problem to compare German strings containing umlaut, which I faced and where I did not find any solution yet!
The right thing is to use the RuleBasedCollator class and define the additional rules (concerning the umlaut) by yourself and setting the strength of the rule interpretation to PRIMARY!
Here is the code that works:
public class UmlautTest {
public static void main (String args[]) {
String st1 = "Daettenb�ck";
String st2 = "D�ttenbueck";
String myRule = "< ae,�,AE,� < oe,�,OE,� < ss,�,SS < ue,�,UE,�";
RuleBasedCollator myrbCol = null;
try {
myrbCol = new RuleBasedCollator(myRule);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
myrbCol.setStrength(Collator.PRIMARY);
if (myrbCol.compare(st1, st2) != 0) {
System.out.println("myrbCol: NICHT gleich!");
} else {
System.out.println("myrbCol: Gleich!");
I hope that I could help anyone with that
nocomm

The � should be of course replaced by the missing umlaut!
Sorry, but I didn't preview the topic!

How to compare a string with integer in jsp

I have a field in database called as enddate
i m trying to split the entire date and get date,month and year
once i store the date in a variable called as fmdate which is string,
i need to compare it with another integer.
how can i compare it..heres my code
stdate=RS.getString("start_date");
     fmdate=stdate.substring(8,10);
     fmmonth=stdate.substring(5,7);
     fmyear=stdate.substring(0,4);
and this is where i want to compare the value of j to fmday...
<td class="btext" valign="center">Day<select name="fmday">
<%
for(int j=1;j<=31;j++)
String s;
parseInt(s)=j;
if (fmdate.equals(s))
%>
<option value="<%=j%>"><%=j%></option>
<% } else { %>
<option value="<%=j%>"><%=j%></option>
<%
} %>
</select>
pl help me...
Thanks Srini

j is an int, so you're just adding 0, not concatenating. Perhaps something like this would work.
<%
for(int j=1;j<=31;j++)
     String date = String.valueOf(j);
     if(j <= 9) {
        date = 0 + date;
     if (fmdate.equals(date)) {
%>
<option value="<%=date%>"><%=date%></option>
<%
     } else {
%>
<option value="<%=date%>"><%=date%></option>
<%
%>Uhm, I assume there should be a 'selected' or something in one of the option tags?

For WRT1900AC, how do the 4 antennae work with each other?

I am curious how the 4 antennae work with each other. Does a wifi client need to communicate with all 4 antennae? Or just 1 (or 2)? I am curious, as I would like to move 1 or 2 of the antennae via proper cable to expand the coverage area.

bigdave240 wrote:
spec on that cable is 10.8dB per 100 feet. I would think that the router would still have a problem with that. Not sure how long the OP was going to make it but with the beaming technology i would think it would throw it off balance.
My maximum is 60ft when using LMR400 for standard wireless applications. I have done that many many times.
These days they typically integrate the higher gain antenna right into the bridge housing or mount the outdoor bridge right next to the antenna.

Both can connect to test sites but not videochat with each other

I am using a 2GHz PPC iMac on 10.4.6 with external iSight. I can see the Apple ad from one of the test sites. My wife is using a G4 PowerBook running the latest Panther OS with external iSight. She is in a hotel but can also see the Apple ad from the test site. When she was home, we could videochat over Bonjour.
But, while she is in the hotel out of town, we couldn't videochat with each other. Whether one initiated or the other did, we both get the "XXX failed to respond" message even though we obviously did accept the videocall.
If we both can videochat with the test sites, how come we cannot videochat with each other?
Given the above, I hope some experts can rule out a bunch of stuff and let me know the finite (and small) set of potential reasons affecting our situation so that I can work on resolving this efficiently.
What could be the likely problem?
On my side, I use an Apple AEBS that uses DHCP and NAT but my iMac is manually set to 10.0.1.201. I have set the ports in Firewall but even when I turned off Firewall it did not work.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Heng-Yee Yong,
The test sites are most likely set to have the ports open by UPnP which does not use NAT.
If you modem is routing and is using Port Forwarding and the Airport is as well then you have two lots of NAT going on at your end.
I would Open Airport Admin Utilty (Applications/Utilities) and log on to the Airport
Go to the Network tab.
Deselect Distributing Addresses which wll trun off NAT in the Airport and make it a Wireless access device.
This means your computer will have to take an IP form the Modem.
This may not be rquired if the modem id is Bridge mode itself as this measn it is not routing and all port will be open without the use of NAT.
This App can help identify if NAT is a problem
http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/projects/natcheck.xtp
Or at least whether you have Consistent NAT or not.

URGENT! I need to compare a String with a line in a .txt file

I'm a college student and I have a very simple question i guess. I need to write an if procedure which compares if a line of a .txt file is equal to something, but I just don't know how to do it. HELP!

if (s.equalsIgnoreCase(t))

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

How do I enable two wireless clients to communicate with each other?

I have a WRT54GL with the latest firmware. I have two computers which are both connected to the router, with IP addresses assigned via DHCP. Neither has a firewall running. I cannot get them to communicate with each other -- even ping doesn't work. I can ping the router itself using the IP address assigned to it on the WAN side by my ISP. Both computers have no problem reaching the internet through the router.
What settings on the router will enable the communication to occur? I can't find anything in the router's user interface which appears to control this.
Thanks.

Hello , I have a shot with two lips kissing each other , how can I keep

Hello , I have a shot with two lips kissing each other , how can I keep the lips red and turn the rest of the face into black ? I tried shaping but the result was negative because the shape was moving all teh time , I tried color correction but the face and lips`s color was similar so I couldn`t do it with that , is there any other way ? Thanks so much

You're gonna have fun with this because the HSL qualifiers probably won't see much separation between the areas that you want to isolate. You could try combinations of turning off Hue, Saturation, or Luminance. See what you get.
Otherwise you're into a roto. (Manually tracked and animated User Shape)
