Comparing consecutive item values in a Matches variable?

[css (Mike)]

I have a matches variable with 39 items in it called “vSubStringIndexArray”, I want to go through each item as a string and compare consecutive items to see if they are equal (1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4) in order to on input values that don’t match. I don’t know how to access two items of a Matches as strings and comparte them.

Basically wanting to do this if this sort of thing was possible:
vSubStringIndexArray(1).toString = vSubStringIndexArray(2).toString

Lets say in this instance item 1 houses the value “Cat” and item 2 houses the value of “Dog”

use for each and item as match them item.value give the result of this and for next element
vSubStringIndexArray(item.index+1).value

Hope it will work!!!

Cheers @css

Hi @ParasTripathi I’m getting an “object reference not set to an instance of an object” error when using this code below in an if statement inside of a for each ‘item’ in ‘vSubStringIndexArray’ activity:

vSubStringIndexArray(item.index).value = vSubStringIndexArray(item.index+1).value

Hi @css
In If Condition:

Use this expression to match the next element of match collection:

item.Value=item.NextMatch.Value

This will not give any error and resolve your problem!!
