Condition not working

I have a condition with two expressions. Both are returning true (Vrai) but somehow the result is false (Faux). What am I doing wrong that two rights make a wrong?

    Hi
     
    The left Message 2 true (value coming from a connector), what type is it?
     
    I assume it is a text instead of a boolean. You are probably comparing string to boolean and that fails.
    You are doing:
    "true" (string from the message)
    = true (Boolean)
     
    That is why it is not "vrai". Can you check the variable type?

    Here is the expression for Message 2:


    I've tried casting it as a boolean and string, and putting equals true as both boolean and string. so both (string=string) and (bool=bool), condition fails on both.

    Hi
     
    You want to know if the last 8 characters are numbers, correct?

    It actually sounds like this expression might be returning false at runtime.
     
    Can you verify that with two Compose actions before your condition:
     
    substring(outputs('Message'), sub(length(outputs('Message')), 8), 8)
     and
    isInt(substring(outputs('Message'), sub(length(outputs('Message')), 8), 8))
     
     
    Let me know!
