Re: [mv] [if] tag question

Gideon,

Thank you for your help.  I looked in the docs previously and tried the
exact tag that you sent me, and it didn't work.  Like I said, there is
something in that variable, as [box-code] prints the contents.  Also, I did
make sure that there are no whitespaces, stupid chars, etc. in the variable
preventing the match.  Any other ideas, or suggestions for diagnostics?

Thank you and take care,

Dear Brian,

I answered this a couple of weeks ago. (you know you can search this list
for previous answered messages concerning any topic and it's in the docs
too, of course)

the answer is [if type=value term="box-code" op="=~" compare="Categories"]

I hope this helps,

-Gideon
