Re: Question about "if" statement evaluating (0=="string")as TRUE

I figured it was along those lines... i know that perl also caught me a few times becuase perl differentiates between "==" and "eq" for numerical or string comparisions. I'll probaly end up using the "===", becuase i've got a severe aversion to using functions for comparisions. :-) -- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation scott (*) eac.com -- "Marco Tabini" <marcot@inicode.com> wrote in message news:1039808068.2738.295.camel@localhost.localdomain... > I think this is happening because you're comparing apples to oranges. > Your first comparison causes an integer to be compared to a string. > Because the string "string" evaluates to the integer value 0, the > comparison succeeds.
