case sensitive question

[Maprwz]

Is 'If $Extension$ = "BAT"' case sensitive?
Would both BAT and bat be true?

If not is there some kind of tag we can use so that we only need one IF statement?

Hello,

You can create a vb script that would convert and return the extension into upper case. Then using 'Run Script command' call vb script from task. In that way you need only one 'If' statement.

For your convenience, we have attached vb script and task file that calls that script. Please copy task file under location, 'C:\...\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks' folder. Copy .vbs file under C:\.

Hope that helps.

I unzipped the file into my "My Tasks" directory along with the task that I am running.
The .VBS was:

Dim temp
temp = UCase (WScript.Arguments.Item(0))
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine temp

I inserted your Run Script as follows:

Variable Operation : C:\Wrappers\AutoAnywhere To $ROOTDIR$
Start Loop " Each File in $ROOTDIR$\BatFiles"

Run Script "GetUCase.vbs $Extension$, $BAT$"
If $BAT$ Equal To "BAT" Then

$BAT$ was defined in Variable Manager as a VALUE variable with initial value of xxx

but I keep getting an error message with:

WindowTitle: Windows Script Host
Message: Error In Script - 13 Type mismatch

Hello,

What you can do is,

. Open your task in a task Editor. Select your task from task list and click on 'Edit' button located at top.
. Double click on 'Run Script' command.
. Click on 'Browse' button and select path where GetUCase.vbs is located on your machine. In 'Select Script' textbox, you also have to specify the path of script along with script name.
. Save the Command.
. Save the Task and run it.

Please let us know how it goes.
