Pega Robotics Studio 8: Comparing two variables
PRS Comparison operators in the Toolbox allow us to compare the contents of a variable with a constant (e.g. x >=10, string="hello"); however, how would we compare two variables (variable1 = variable2)?

Hi Jeff,
May be trivial question.
How can we get the compare expression which takes two data inputs ? I'm able to see only one data input.
Thanks.

Drag Boolean expression and double click on it ,
Type the equation EX : A==B then you will get two inputs enabled component.

Hello, Everyone.
Would you know if there's any existing contains "function", that compares data/variables for partial matching?

Look at the StringUtils component. It has a contains method.

The Boolean expression can also be used for this. You need to set each Identifier's DataType to string before the expression will compile.
As you can see, you can use some fairly complex Boolean expressions if necessary.
You can do this a number of ways. The first option is the Boolean Expression. It is found in the Comparisons & Expressions section. By default the elements you included are typed as Double variables. You can change that to do other types of comparisons.
For example, you can write a C# expression like this to do case insensitive comparison of 2 strings.
