Comparison Operators in Javascript

Trampas

Hi,

Can you have a like command in javascript i.e.

If (x like '%HelloWorld%)
{
then do this
}
else
{
do this
}

I can't find it anywhere

All i can find is == , != , === and the <> but not like.

Please help

!= would be the same as <>

Google for regular expressions. Javascript implements regular expressions for pattern matching. The Like operator is an SQL operator.

Or you could lever whatever is java's standard does_string_contain_this_string( string1 , string2 ) function to do it - strstr() or whatever for a quick and dirty fix.

Something like the following should work:

if( x && x.substring( 'HelloWorld' ) > -1 ) {
  // then do this
}
else {
  // do this
}
