How to use string variables in datatable in if statement? - user found solution

[gem3]

Hello,

I'm trying to use variables in datatable in if-statement.

Ex."size" in datatable.('S'=small, 'L'=large )

What I want to do is

if size equals to "S"
	echo This is SMALL
else
	echo This is LARGE

I have tried various ways, but not worked.

If anyone know solutions, please share your solutions.

Thank you.

Thank you @gem3... Sorry I was away the past few months - tebelorg/RPA-Python#144

Yes that's the syntax for comparing a variable as a string in conditions.

Adding on, you can use double or single quotes in TagUI -

size = 'S'
  
if '`size`' equals to 'S'
    echo This is SMALL
else
    echo This is LARGE

I personally prefer single quote because I don't need to press shift key each time I type the quote. This tiny time-saving each time a quote is typed will be compounded info significant time savings over a long period of time.

Helloo kensoh,

I have to press shift key to type double or single quotes with a keybord in my language.
this is a keybord layout problem with my language.

btw are you ok now?
I don't know whole your story, but I'm glad to know you are back.

Oh I see.. Then there is no difference using double or single quotes, I understand now...

Thank you..... My mum has just been discharged to go home, after 6 months in hospital. Condition is still bad but we are trying to do what we can to help her recover and not be dependent on oxygen supply through a hole in her throat. It looks like going to be a long journey ahead.

Plan to send 18-month old baby to childcare failed. On first day got a couple of accidents already. Now trying to hire a helper to help with housework, cooking and taking care of baby. So that I can start work again. It's tough being sandwiched with the demands of taking care of a young baby and my mum's illness. But there's no other option than facing it and marching on.

Hello kensoh,

It's hard to find words for you.
But I like the story of "塞翁失马，焉知非福".

"There is no unstoppable rain."
