Configuration Variable Syntax - Boolean Test If One Variable Assignment Not Equal to Another Variable Assignment

Hi Chuck,

it's not quite clear what do you want to test. Using *.dgnlib wildcards produces list of *.dgnlib file, which is not comparable object.

I really want to compare the actual strings. 

I think I got this to work:

%if concat($(_USTN_USERINT)$(_USTN_USERINTNAME),"\*.dgnlib") != concat($(_MDSHA_USERROOT),"*.dgnlib")

Hi Chuck,

yes, now it seems correct as your comparing strings itself and not the content of configuration variables.

P.S. Looks like your footer / signature has grown, now it seems to be 80% of the whole post ;-)

This was my final solution - the earlier post code failed for the wrong reason:

1_TEMP = $(concat (_USTN_USERINT,_USTN_USERINTNAME,"\*.dgnlib"))
2_TEMP = $(concat (_MDSHA_USERROOT,"*.dgnlib"))
%if $(1_TEMP) != $(2_TEMP)
	MS_DGNLIBLIST > $(_MDSHA_USERROOT)*.dgnlib
%endif
%undef 1_TEMP
%undef 2_TEMP

I could not resolve the proper syntax for the Boolean comparison using the concat function so I used two temporary variables.
