1.5 Conditional execution

A conditional statement consists of the keyword if followed by the test condition and a statement block. The statement block is mandatory. An else keyword may also be used to specify an alternate condition.

String comparison operators are:

eq    (equality)
ne    (inequality)
lt    (less than)
le    (less than or equal to)
gt    (greater than)
ge    (greater than or equal to)

Numeric comparison operators are:

==    (equality)
!=    (inequality)
<     (less than)
<=    (less than or equal to)
>     (greater than)
>=    (greater than or equal to)

Arguments are automatically treated as strings or numbers based on the comparison operator that is used. Strings may also contain wildcards such as *.

The syntax is

if <test condition> begin end if <test condition> begin end else begin end

Some examples are

if ~numvar < 5 begin end if ~strvar eq "*.txt" begin end else begin end
