How can I compare two stored texts in Selenium IDE?

Question

How can I compare two stored texts and if they are equal to echo some result?

Answer 1

You can use the verifyEval command to compare two variables:

store | text | i
store | different text | j
verifyEval | storedVars['i']==storedVars['j'] | true

Running this script as written will cause the test to fail with [error] Actual value 'false' did not match 'true'. Change j to text, and it will complete without error.

Note that this can also be used to verify that two strings are not equal, by changing true to false in the verifyEval command.
