Compare the String field against other Datatype fields
Hi All,
Here is the scenario,
I have a custom field: 'strField' or Datatype String. I also have Case c, which has fields of type Date, Integer, String, Picklist, currency, etc.
I need to compare strField with Case c field. I cannot convert the Case c fields to String type because for numbers or Date or etc. , it will produce incorrect results.
For example
Any help will be highly appreciated. (If anyone wants to know the complete use case, feel free to ask.)
Thanks.
Cheers,Dev

I need to compare strField with Case c field. I cannot convert the Case c fields to String type because for numbers or Date or etc. , it will produce incorrect results.
For example
// this is wrong if(strField == String.vakueOf(c.CloseDate)){ // Do something } // this is also wrong if(strField == String.valueOf(c.someIntegerField)){ // Do something }Therefore, I need to cast the strField based on the Case c Field Datatype. I have the Case c field datatype but I do not know how to convert strField to that respective Datatype.
... String datatype = t.Textbaustein__r.Feld3__r.DataType; // this returns datatype in string format .... //I want to achieve this. The below code is wrong, it is just for reference: if((datatype)strField == c.get(t.Textbaustein__r.Feld3__r.QualifiedAPIName)){ // Do something }
Any help will be highly appreciated. (If anyone wants to know the complete use case, feel free to ask.)
