Case insensitive string comparison

Hi!

Is it possible to compare a string variable in an case insensitive manner?

Let's say my variable can have "a" or "A". I tried to make an =equal to "a"|"A" expression, but it didn't work.

You can use the lowercase() expression to convert your string to lowercase, then compare to a lowercase version.

"a" Equal lowercase("A") will be true

Thanks for your reply!

That doesn't seem to work in my situation, because I'm looping through positions in an array, so there is no place where I can insert the lowercase() expression.

My code is like this:

myArray For each X element

--myArray currentValue ="a"

I also don't want to permanently manipulate the contents of the array (I need to retain the mixed case letters, just not for the comparison).

Damn.. this is more difficult than I thought. I wonder why =equal to "a"|"A" is not working.

You would have to compare lowercase(myArray.CurrentValue) is equal to lowercase("a").

As for the equal to "a"|"A", | is a logic operation, it will do "a" OR "A" which returns 0 or 1, so you were actually comparing the value to 0 or 1 (not sure what it should even try to return int hat case)

Thank you so much! That worked!

If someone else with the same problem is reading this, let me point out that to do what Aphrodite suggested, I had to choose "system"-->"compare two values" instead of "compare variable".

Thanks again!
