Using LC 5.0.2, I have a really weird string comparison error occurring.
The following code:
put length(tActualSourceName),length(tExpectedSourceName)&cr after msg
repeat with i=1 to the number of characters in tActualSourceName
if char i of tActualSourceName is not char i of
tExpectedSourceName then
put i,char i of tActualSourceName,"<>",char i of
tExpectedSourceName&cr after msg
else
put i,char i of tActualSourceName,"==",char i of
tExpectedSourceName&cr after msg
end if
end repeat
put (tActualSourceName = tExpectedSouceName) after msg
Produces the following message window output:
13,13
1,l,==,l
2,a,==,a
3,t,==,t
4,i,==,i
5,n,==,n
6,t,==,t
7,e,==,e
8,x,==,x
9,t,==,t
10,.,==,.
11,r,==,r
12,t,==,t
13,f,==,f
false
So, if the strings are the same length and every character tests equal,
then how come the strings do not equal one another??? Anybody have any
idea???
And, yes, I did try "is" insread of "=" and "<>" instead of "is not" and
since the operators should be interchangeable, it made no difference.
