 |
|
Hi Everyone,
What I'm trying to do is compare the number within two text files. On my C drive I have a file named version.txt with a 9 in it. On my D Drive I have a file named version.txt with a 10 in it. Each time I run my code I get 9 is newer than 10. Since 10 is greater than 9, I should be seeing the info box that says 9 is older than 10, but I always get 9 is newer than 10.
| Code: | LIST CREATE, 1
LIST LOADFILE,1,c:\version.txt
LIST SEEK,1
%%version = @ITEM(1)
list create, 2
list loadfile,2,d:\version.txt
list seek,2
%%newversion = @item(2)
rem info the newversion is %%newversion
if greater(%%version,%%newversion)
info %%version is newer than %%newversion
end
else
info %%version is older than %%newversion
end |
Thanks for the help

Try this:
| Code: | LIST CREATE, 1
LIST LOADFILE,1,c:\version.txt
LIST SEEK,1
%%version = @ITEM(1)
list create, 2
list loadfile,2,d:\version.txt
rem Changed next line....
list seek,1
%%newversion = @item(2)
rem info the newversion is %%newversion
if greater(%%version,%%newversion)
info %%version is newer than %%newversion
end
else
info %%version is older than %%newversion
end |

Hi kevinandsonya,
You forgot to put an '@' infront of the greater(%%version,%%newversion). Also your 'if' block needs some work it should read like below.
| Code: |
if @greater(%%version,%%newversion)
info %%version is newer than %%newversion
else
info %%version is older than %%newversion
end
|
You don't need the extra 'end' before the 'else'...
BTW Welcome to VDSWorld.com...

You also forgot to tell the list what index to seek (incase you eventually create more lines in each textfile)
List seek,1,?
e.g.
List seek,1,1
List seek,2,1
"0" is where a list will default to when first loaded, which is probably why it worked anyway. If your numbers were on different lines in the file it would have failed.

It would be easier to read with the [code] tag. Just put this tag around
your code as follows:
[code]info Welcome to VDSWORLD![/code]

Sorry Kevin,
Some people are so spoiled here on the forum   The code tag highlights your code and brings it out more so they can read it.

There used to be a [code:1:] tag but with the forum upgrade that was lost.
However in the future it may be possible to re-implement it.
(I added the code tag to the first post for you)
