Hi there,

I'm having problems figuring out wildcards for string comparisons.

I have a WorkType variable that is a string. It always starts with PM and then a 2 digit number. So I want to have an if statement checking it's valid. i've used this code and it doesn't work:

If WorkType != "PM##"
lcErrorMessage = lcErrorMessage + "Work type is invalid..."
Endif

So when valid WorkType come in (e.g. PM03, PM14) they are failing.

Any help would be much appreciated
