Difficult to process the value of STAXResult

[Tharma]

Assume I've a main function that calls another  function called "queryDB", which returns a numeric value.

Once the 'queryDB'  returns the value, main has to parse the STAXResult to get the value (STAXResult returns a list) and report if the <tcstatus> is passed or not.

The problem that face here is that even though I'm able to get the value when parse like this: STAXResult[0][1], I'm unable to compare the above value against the expected value (which is either 0 or 1) to decide the status of  the testcase.

Could you please advice me here? perhaps, I might need to convert the STAXResult[0][1] to other type (such as an int) before comparing.

Currently, I see the comparison fails always -even if I happen to compare STAXResult[0][1] against 1 esp., when the former resolves to be 1 too.

Thanks & Regards,
Tharma

Is it possible that the value is a string '1' and not the number 1?  So, instead of:

<if expr="STAXResult[0][1] == 1">

try:

<if expr="STAXResult[0][1] == '1'">
