OR operator rather than AND in condition builder

July 18th, 2012, 06:19 PM

Another basic question question -

Does anyone know if there is a way in the condition builder to have condition1 or condition2 or condition3 = true? rather than all conditions must be true?

Or is this something that can only be done in code?
If its only in code - what would that look like? instead of "&&" - something else?

Thanks in advance -

|| for OR
&& for AND

I don't use the Strategy Wizard, but I don't think it's possible to do what you want without coding.

Each condition set (set 1, set 2, set 3 etc...) is "or" while the conditions within each set are "and".

but if you wanted to have:

if "A" is true
&
if ("B" or "C" is true)

Then enter long - how would you do that using different sets?

Sorry -
I can see that you could set them up as
two separate sets - but the problem is when you need the "OR" statement to be 10 or more items (as an example)

This is a very late reply, but it may help someone reading this:

Toddma, yes, you can do that. Here's an example:

if(Condition....

&& (this > that || they < us))

{
Do something
}

The above is a simple way of doing what you want. The || in the parenthesis is the OR statement.
