Hey guys. I'm just looking for the syntax for checking for inequality. I want an event to occur in every instance except when it's equal.

IF MyVar != 0 THEN: DO STUFF


only " != " doesn't seem to check for inequality in DBP. What should I be using instead?

if myvar <> 0 then print "myvar doesnt equal 0!"

That should help (It's too short to bother putting in a code snippet)

@DB User: That doesn't allow for testing against strings and other forms of data types

@The End: Tonnes of languages use boolean ops, even JS.

@GerBear:



From what I remember (been a while since I've used it) you need each condition inside of an if statement. I think I've done it using an exclamation mark I just cant remember how.

Yes it does. Works on strings just fine in DBPro.


I had no idea there was a NOT Command!

Thanks for the help. I'd actually tried the NOT command like that, but I didn't know about using brackets, and additionally I was using them with an AND command so I didn't know if that would mess it up.
For instance, I have



Which doesn't work at all.

However, since I'm doing all of my calculation routines with variables, I think the <> operator will work just fine. THanks a lot!
