How do i write expression as not equal in string

like ABC is not equal BCD in if condition

iam not using <> operator

both values are in string

2

@T_Y_Raju

Not ABC.ToString.Equals(BCD.ToString)

I am assuming AB C and BCD are Variables

3

These are 2 string variables do i need to convert to double for comparing the values

Hi @T_Y_Raju

If values are string also it works

@T_Y_Raju No need to Convert it, you can compare in string by equal. In case it contains number then I would suggest you to use Conversion

@T_Y_Raju Try above Expression which I wrote

Hi @T_Y_Raju

You can compare it with the below expression

Strvar1 = "ABC"
Strvar2 = "DEF"
If - Not Strvar1.equals(Strvar2)

Hope it helps!!

If you want to compare greater than or less than, you have to CDbl both to compare the values. If you just want to see if they’re equal, it can work without converting, but I recommend against comparing them as strings. For example “01” and “1” are not equal as strings, but are equal as numbers. Same for “1.0” and “1” - different strings, same number value.

It’s a good rule of thumb to always convert numbers for comparison.

Also, a lot of people here like the .equals syntax:

NOT CDbl(strvar1).Equals(CDbl(strvar2))

However, this is the same as…

NOT CDbl(strvar1) = CDbl(strvar2)

…and I find the latter easier to read.

You can also use <>…

CDbl(strvar1) <> CDbl(strvar2)
