$ifequal and non-integers

i fear this might be obvious;

$ifequal only compares integers(...-1,0,1...) right?

so if you wanted to compare two non-integers like, just as an example
a variable you have set... $setpvar(title,%title%)
and the current playing title... %title%

how would you go about this?

To compare strings, use $strcmp or $stricmp. Read the titleformat reference for further information.

Example:
Quote
$if($strcmp(%title%,Whatever),Something,SomethingElse)

PS: I guess the $setpvar function has been introduced by a 3rd party component. Please do not assume that every forum member knows about that, and name the component and/or describe the function in detail.

and for those reading this that don't know, $setpvar and $getpvar are part of the Panels UI(foo ui panels) component

$getpvar(name)
 
  • Variable similar to common variable operations ($put, $puts & $get) plus the ability to keep permanently its value.
  • Can be set/accessed anywhere thoughout Panels UI (Panels UI itself + Track Display and Single Columns Playlist).
