Booleans in #If statement
|
I have this condition that is always true. Does anyone know why this is happening?
#IF (@VFirstword = (a | an | some)) {Do something when true} {Do something when false} |

It happens because of incorrect syntax. Try this instead:
#IF ((@VFirstword = "a") or (@VFirstword = "an") or (@VFirstword = "some")) {Do something when true} {Do something when false}
Also, an alternative, shorter way of doing it is:
#IF ((@VFirstword =~ "{a|an|some}")) {Do something when true} {Do something when false}
