Text Condition
Text Condition tasks can be used to perform two different types of tests:
l
To test the presence of a string within the job file. You can, for example, search for the
string “Gold member” on the first line of the job file. As another example, you could search
for a variable string retrieved via a job info variable or a data selection in a given location
in the job file.
l
To compare two strings. As with the test above, this test can also be used to search for
a string in a given location. The difference with this test is that it gives you comparison
options. Using the “Contains” operator, you can test the presence of the string “Gold
member” at a given location in the job file (using a data selection), but the other operators
can be used to test whether or not the first string is equal to the second one, whether it is
equal or lower than the second one, etc.
The logic of text conditions can sometimes be tricky, especially if it includes variable strings, so
you should test it thoroughly.

l
String: If you want to test the presence of a given string at a given location, enter the
string in this box. If you want to compare two strings or perform a numeric comparison,
enter the first string in this box. Note that you can enter either a static string, a variable or a
data selection in this box. If you enter a variable, PlanetPress Workflow will retrieve the
string from the variable before performing the comparison. If you enter a data selection,
