How to compare two strings equal or not in Robot Framework

Question

How to compare two strings equal or not in Robot Framework. For example:

${xyz}=    Get Text    xpath=/html/body/div/div[2]/div[3]/div/div/div/div/h3
${abc}=    Get Text    xpath=/html/body/div/div[2]/div[4]/div/div/div/div/h3

These xpath values are getting different strings. So how to compare there strings equal or not?

Is it correct way to storing the values in variable in Robot Framework?

Answer 1

Yes, that is the correct way of storing variables. Though you can also do it without the equal sign:

${xyz}    Get Text    xpath=/html/body/div/div[2]/div[3]/div/div/div/div/h3
${abc}    Get Text    xpath=/html/body/div/div[2]/div[4]/div/div/div/div/h3

Now that you have the two different strings assigned to variables, you can simply do:

Should Be Equal As Strings    ${xyz}    ${abc}

You can see the documentation for Should Be Equal As Strings here.
