Issue comparing two strings in IF activity

@guemi Ok, I did a PoC (Proof of Concept) on my theory, and I think this proves my hypothesis. For cell_content you’re getting from Excel Read Cell Activity. That pulls just the text. But then you down arrow and use CTL+C then assign a variable the contents of the clipboard.

I used your code (modified since I didnt have your Excel file) But captured variable contents in a wrapper - observe the results: (first is cell_content, then is eel_ftgnr
If Closed
<DATA>test</DATA>
Write Line Executing
Write Line Closed
<DATA>test
</DATA>
Write Line Executing
Write Line Closed
