/newif clarification

[LordGiddion]

It was my understanding that any non-zero result should eval as true by /newif is this correct?
This /newif fails with "Failed to parse Newif condition 'duck', non-numeric encountered.

/newif (${String[@MyVar].Arg[1]}) {
/echo "Check Value"
}else{
/echo "no value at position 1"
}

Try:

Code: Select all

/newif (${String[@MyVar].Arg[1].Length}>0) { 
/echo "Check Value" 
} else { 
/echo "no value at position 1" 
} 

Or

Code: Select all

/newif (${String[@MyVar].Arg[1].NotEqual[NULL]}) { 
/echo "Check Value" 
} else { 
/echo "no value at position 1" 
} 

Any non-zero *number* results in true.

Right ml2517 I used the length tech. but in the /new description the statement was all non-zero is true. I was trying to check if it was functioning as designed.

"non-numeric encountered" should be an indication that it cannot parse "duck"

It's functioning as intended.
