    Hi,
    within a loop I want to compare if the last loop had the same value in a custom field like the actual loop.
    I was able to set a variable like this within the [else]: 

    [set postleitzahl][field zip][/set]
neue PLZ: [get postleitzahl]

    But to compare the actual zip value with the variable don’t work. This is what I tried last:

     
[if field=zip value='postleitzahl']
[if field=zip value={postleitzahl}]
[if field=zip value=[pass vars]{postleitzahl}[/pass]]

    I hope you guys can give me a hint how to compare field value and variable.
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Did you try something like this?

    [pass vars]
[if field=zip value={POSTLEITZAHL}]
It works
[/if]
[/pass]

    Thanks Peter,
    yes, I also tried different ways of using that [pass vars] – unfortunatelly without success.

    OK, I had some success doing this: [set postleitzahl]0[/set] PLZ: [get postleitzahl]

    [loop type=eintrag orderby=zip count=5]

[loop-count]: [field zip] [field location]

[pass vars]
[if field=zip value={POSTLEITZAHL}]
It works
[else]
[set postleitzahl][field zip][/set] neue PLZ: [get postleitzahl]
[/if][/pass]

[/loop]

    I get this result:
    PLZ: 0
    1: 12169 berlin (seems to be wrong sorted but lets ignore that for a while)
    neue PLZ: 12169

    2: 65197 Wiesbaden
    neue PLZ: 65197

    3: 01099 Dresden
    neue PLZ: 01099

    4: 01099 Dresden
    It works

    5: 01109 Dresden
    neue PLZ: 01109

    You see, that it has recognized the same value one time at 4: But it seems to be forgotten one later.
