If Compare Files

Compares two files using the specified criteria and returns TRUE or FALSE depending on the outcome. Very often when you create a task, you want it to perform different actions for different decisions. You can use conditional statements in your code to do this. The If Compare Files is a conditional statements that can perform different actions during the course of a task depending on the result of an expression evaluation. If the result evaluates to TRUE, AWE will execute the block of steps immediately following the If action up until an End If step is encountered, otherwise the block will be skipped (or if an Else statement is encountered it will execute that block of steps). All If actions must be followed at some point with an End If step to mark the end of the code block that is to be executed if the expression is true.
