Hi kajol,

Where are you stuck? What is your use case?

Generally we use the following script to compare two scripts:

 

var str1 = 'FirstString';
var str2 = 'SecondString';

if(str1==str2){
   // If equal then this block will execute
}else{
   // If unequal then this block will execute
}

Hi Mahesh,

Can I compare using a variable?

Example:

var compare = ">";

if(10 compare 20) {

   gs.print("10 > 20");

}

else {

   gs.print("10 < 20");

}

You can use the js indexOf() function:

 

var string = "Hello world, welcome to the universe.";
var containsString = string.indexOf("welcome");

if(containsString == -1){
console.log('Does not contain');
} else {
console.log('Contains');
}

 

The containsString variable will return -1 if it does not contain.
