Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used to compare two values, or operands. The result of the evaluation will return a Boolean result. There are six comparison operators available in AMPscript.
The operands need to be the same type; for example, string, date, number or Boolean:
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
== |
is equal to |
!= |
is not equal to |
> |
is greater than |
< |
is less than |
>= |
is greater than or equal to |
<= |
is less than or equal to |
String operands can only use == or != operators for comparison. String comparisons are evaluated as case-insensitive, so "GOLD" == "gold" will evaluate to true.
Example 1
The example below indicates a string comparison (in the AMPscript block) and a Boolean comparison (in inline AMPscript):
