Using a variable as a placeholder for greater/less than in iLogic

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to have a variable contain the logical operator ">" or "<" to pass through a function?

I don't believe so as the variable would be a string and fail in the boolean conversion..

Hi! I am sorry I am not sure I follow the request. Could you show an example of a variable containing logical operator? Isn't it an expression?

Many thanks!

I mean a variable that would take the place of the ">" or "<" in a comparison.

I assumed you wanted to do something like this..

myNumber = InputBox("Enter a Number", "iLogic", "25")

mygator = "<"
If (24 & mygator & myNumber) 
	MessageBox.Show("greater than 24", "iLogic")
Else
MessageBox.Show("less than 24", "iLogic")
End If

Yes, something like that. That text results in a "conversion from string" error when I try to run it.

I have a function that includes an IF statement where it would be helpful to change the comparison operators between <, >, and = when the function gets called.

I'm getting around it right now by writing out all of the IF cases within a case-select structure and passing a numerical variable to jump straight to the right IF case.
