+===Compare dataVect Text Value===
 I have found the following function useful for easy compare of a dataVect against a pre-defined text field. [[dataVectCompare]]
- bool DataVectCompare(const fmx::DataVect& dataVect, long index, char * compare )
- //takes the passed DataVect and compares it against the fixed string passed, returns TRUE is they are the same.  (Not case sensitive)
- //	eg.  DataVectCompare(dataVect, 0,  "something")   returns  TRUE is dataVect.AtAsText(0) ==  "something"
- {
- 	fmx::TextAutoPtr	dv;
- 	dv->SetText( dataVect.AtAsText(index) );		// get the contents of the specified parameter.
- 	dv->Lowercase();					// and convert to all 'lowercase' for checking.
- 	fmx::TextAutoPtr    cs;
- 	cs->Assign(compare);					// take the passed 'Compare' string
- 	cs->Lowercase();					// and convert to all Lowercase for checking.
- 	return ( *dv == *cs );
- } // DataVectCompare
-Then, in any script where you want to compare the text passed by the user, you can include...
- 	if ( DataVectCompare(dataVect,0, "Text") )
- 	{
- 		// Do something only if first parameter (index = 0) passed is equal to  'Text'
- 	}
