Hi,

I am not absolutely sure, how you want to compare strings/multiple
strings.

If you want to compare just two strings, it should be no problem
comparing them by connecting both strings to an 'Equal'. The output will
be a boolean.

If you want to compare multiple strings (lets say an array of strings)
with a 'reference string', than you can connect that array to the
'Equal' sign. The output will be an array of booleans showing which
element of the array equals your 'reference string'. The number of
matches then can be counted in an indexed for loop.

Hope I was clear enough,

Alexander Salim

P.S.: Don't needed a case?!?

You can also use the "scan string for tokens" or " match pattern" under
string functions. They don't return Boolean results but you can use the
"greater then 0" function on the "token index" or the "offset past match"
outputs.
