Hi, how can I compare two variable (number):

storeText | xpath=abc | a  
storeText | xpath=xyz | b

I try use:

storeEval | storedVars[‘a’]\>storedVars[‘b’] | true

but it does not work me. Thanks. O.

Hi, just use “if” command and for variable use syntax like:  
${a}  
and not like:  
storedVars[‘a’]  
So, Your if statement should look like this:

> if | ${a}\>${b}  
> click | element1  
> else  
> click | element2  
> endIf

Try

```auto
store | aaa | a
store | bbb | b
storeEval | storedVars['a']<storedVars['b'] | c

```
