How to check if . . .

[TJ_Tigger]

. . . a number falls between two numbers? I am wanting to search for a line number in a file and check to see if that line number falls between two values. However, I am having a hard time figuring out the evaluation code. When I grab the line number I want to check and see if that line number falls between 1 and 13. I cant quite get the code right for it to work. Any suggestions on how to do this.

IF (((%LineNumber% >=0) AND (%LineNumber% <=12)) OR ((%LineNumber% >=26) AND (%LineNumber% <=38)))
IF (%LineNumber% = 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 or 26 or 27 or 28...)

I have tried the two above lines, the bottom one seems to work the best, but it is weird, when testing it will pull up line number 19 and the first IF statement (which does not include 19) still works. Very weird.

Your first line works for me. I tried it and it gave me no probs at all.
Might there be some other code thats interfering with it somewhere?

Could be. I was tired when I was working on it.

Your second line isn't doing what you think. It ends up testing if %LineNumber% is 0, or if 1 is true, or if 2 is true, or if 3 is true, or if 4 is true...etc.

It's the same as if you wrote this:

IF ( (%LineNumber% = 0) or (1) or (2) or (3) or (4) or...)

Since all those other numbers are true, the actions inside the IF are always going to be performed.
