Hi team,

Using VisualCron 8.3.3 and 8.3.1 the "{LOGIC(If|String" formula with operator != returns the test string from the first parameter rather than one of the values from the last two parameters. This happens regardless of whether the strings match. So for example:

{LOGIC(If|String|Test string|!=|Test string|String is not matching|String is matching)}
Returns "Test string"

{LOGIC(If|String|Test string|!=|Test strings|String is not matching|String is matching)}
Returns "Test string"

I would expect these examples to return "String is matching" and "String is not matching" respectively.

Thanks,
Stefan

Yeah this is clearly a bug.

Yikes! That exists in 8.5.5 too. I can't believe that hasn't been found until now. The equality comparison seems to be ok. How did this make it through testing?

Your variable is wrong OR it is wrong in the app

{LOGIC(If|String|Test string|!=%|Test string|String is not matching|String is matching)}

NOT
{LOGIC(If|String|Test string|!=|Test string|String is not matching|String is matching)}

You are missing the % after the !=

oddly enough in 8.5.5 there is a typo in the default example

{LOGIC(If|String|Test|!=%|Test string|Does not contain stringf|Contains string)}

"stringf" should lose the "f" I am guessing

I assume the % must be a wildcard, so that !=% would be similar to NOT LIKE in sql. I think it is simply a bug that should have been caught by unit tests

Thanks for the report.

For the next build we have fixed return of the result values for:
{LOGIC(If|String|Test string|!=|Test string|String is not matching|String is matching)}

And corrected "stringf" to "string".
