  • 1.  Simple "If statement" issue

    Posted 08-12-2022 16:09
    Hi all,

    Maybe I am just overlooking something really stupid and simple, but for the life of me I can't seem to get this to work:

    var name = params.getValue('HomeLT_Name_1', 0);
var length = params.getValue('Home_Roster_NumberOfPlayers', 0);
ogscript.debug("NAME IS " + name);
for (var i = 0; i <= length; i++)
{
  var tableName = params.getValue('homeRoster.' + i + '.name',0);
   ogscript.debug("COMPARING: " + name + "/" + tableName);
  if (name.equals(tableName))
{
   ogscript.debug("NAME FOUND: " + name + " = " +  tableName);
 
   }
else
{
ogscript.debug("NOT A MATCH");
}
   
}​

    I can see in the debug it does compare the right elements, and I can see the instance in which variables "name" and "tableName" match, but the if statement seems to not see it and I see "NOT A MATCH" for every comparison.

    I have also tried  "if (name == tableName)" instead of "if (name.equals(tableName))" but it is the same result with no matches found.

    Sorry if it is an easy solution, but I can't see what is wrong here, especially since I can see the instance in the debug code where the if statement should logically be true.

    Never mind, I found my issue.... I had a leading empty space character in my first parameter that threw it off. Whoops. Boy I sure wish I could delete threads now, haha.
