2 conditional

[TommyMTL]

I need to check for a minimum of two condition

<cfif IsDefined ("MyString") and MyString NEQ "ABC" OR IsDefined ("MyString") and MyString NEQ "CBA">
Do something
</cfif>
It should evaluate both and If one or the other match then criterias the it does not display the message "Do Something"


Is is obviousely not working, what would be the work around?

many thanks

<cfif IsDefined("MyString") AND (MyString NEQ "ABC" AND MyString NEQ "CBA")>
Do something
</cfif>

You need nested cfif tags. The outer one checks for isDefined and the inner one checks the value of the string. Otherwise it will crash if the variable is not defined.

<cfif IsDefined("MyString") AND (MyString NEQ "ABC" AND MyString NEQ "CBA")>
Do something
</cfif>

In this example,
MyString must be defind, must not equal "ABC" and must not equal "CBA"
Shouls it not cointain an OR somewhere?
What I need is something that will do

"ABC" OR "CBA"

thanks

then you'll get both, ABC will not equal CBA & CBA will not equal ABC.

not anymore, cf has had boolean short circuiting for a couple of versions.
