IF trigger with multiple conditions

jensej — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 13:23:25 GMT

Hello!

I want to use the IF trigger to do one thing in the job if the globalMap.get("output") contains the words csv or xml and do something else.

I've tried only with csv like this and it worked

option 1

((String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("csv") == false

option 2

((String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("csv") == true

now i wanted to check also for xml but i can't get it to work. I tried like this....

option 1

(String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("csv") == true|| ((String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("xml") == true

option2

(String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("csv") == false || ((String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("xml") == false

I read that || = or so in my opinion it should ask if string contains csv or xml then go this way and if not go the other way.

what am i doing wrong?

I think i solved it myself.

It has to be

option 1

(String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("csv") == true || ((String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("xml") == true

option 2

(String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("csv") == false && ((String)globalMap.get("output")).contains("xml") == false

with your current configuration :

the first option will be triggered if the globalMap variable contains csv or xml

the second option will be triggered if the globalMap variable does not contains neither csv or xml
