Undocumented feature if and exclamation mark

[HPW]

Hello,

Is there a undocumented feature with if and exclamation mark?
I find 3 cases in the doc where the exclamation mark has special meaning.
Does it make if argument-variables case-sensitiv?

Code: Select all

SetVar "[t1]" "Ruby"
SetVar "[t2]" "RUBY"

Alertbox "![t1]" "![t2]"
Alertbox "[t1]" "[t2]"

If "![t1]" "<>" "![t2]"
 Alertbox "Result1" "Strings are indeed different."
Else
 Alertbox "Result1" "Strings are equal."
EndIf

If "[t1]" "<>" "[t2]"
 Alertbox "Result2" "Strings are indeed different."
Else
 Alertbox "Result2" "Strings are equal."
EndIf

Regards

The exclamation point tells NeoBook to leave the contents of the parameter alone and not modify it at all.

The exclamation point tells NeoBook to leave the contents of the parameter alone and not modify it at all.

The doc says that math operations are not resolved. What about variable replacment?

The sample code show the variables gets resolved and replaced by the content.
But the if condition behaves different.
When I Change t1 and t2 to exact the same string "Ruby" then both if show the same result.

Variables are always resolved and are not affected by the exclamation point.

This subject (of the handling of ! Exclamation Mark) deserves a (Pinned) Topic on these Forums ... so we can add all sorts of examples (and how each one is resolved) ... all in one place.

Later, perhaps replicated to the Help file.

Ditto (an American expression meaning "I agree with what was said " )
