The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Comparing two strings

Asked by humer2000 in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: , ,

hi experts

I have the following code to compare two string
in fact i have two strings stored in the db
one is encrypted, the other is not encrypted

i am comparing decrypted value of the encrypted one with the other string and display a message accordingly

Sub ValidateCoupon (rc, msg)
dim EncodedName, DecodedName, Realname
EncodedName=couponname
DecodedName= Base64decode(EncodedName)
Realname = couponother

response.write "realname = <br>" & DecodedName & "<br>"
response.write "couponother = <br>" & Realname

if ucase(DecodedName) <> ucase(Realname) then
     msg= "Bad coupon name"
     rc=4
     exit sub
end if
end sub

OK now my problem it that when i compare decodedname and realname,
i get the result  "Bad coupon name" even if they are equal

My response.write shows that decodedname and realname are the same.

What the problem ?
Thx
