Finally figured it out:

[if data My_file::My_field::[item-data My_file My_code] =~ /1/i]
Hello

Hi List,

On MV 4.04, Linux Mandrake 6.0, I have been trying to do what seems to be a
simple comparison of numeric values. I have researched the docs and several
perl sites, but still can't get the desired result. Basically, I wish to
check the value of My_field to see if it is equal to 1 (It is either 1 or
0). Here is a sample of what I have tried:

[if type="value" term="My_field" op="==" compare="1"]
Hello
[/if]
(tried op="eq", op="=~", term="[item-data My_file My_field]", compare="/1/",
compare="^1", compare="/^1/", and several variations of these)

also:

[if value My_field == /^1/]
Hello
[/if]

which always produces Hello, whether value is a 1 or 0

(tried =~, [My_field], [item-data My_file My_field], == 1, == ^1, and
variants)

and:
[if explicit]
    [condition]
        $My_value = '[value My_field]';
        return 1 if $My_value =~ /1/;
        return 0;
    [/condition]
Hello
[/if]

(tried [value [item-data My-file My_field]], [value [My_field]], ==, and
variants)

A sampling of error log, in no particular order:

Bad if 'value My_field == ^1': syntax error at (eval 323) line 1, near "==
^"
Bad if 'value My_field =~ ^1': syntax error at (eval 354) line 1, near "=~
^"
Bad if 'value 0 = 1': Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment at
(eval 357) line 2, at EOF
Bad if 'value My_field = 1': Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment
at (eval 349) line 2, at EOF
Bad if 'value 0 g [My_field]': syntax error at (eval 303) line 1, near "q{}
g "
Bad if 'value My_field = 1': Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment
at (eval 351) line 2, at EOF

It has been several hours of trial and error and, while I do have a
workaround (which is not based on a conditional expression), I really wish
to do it this way. All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Curt
