[RESOLVED] Version Checking

I have a program that gets and checks the version numbers of several programs (Java, Acrobat, etc.) I'm having a problem though since several versions of the programs are numbered with two decimal points, for example 1.4.2 for Sun Java.

My question is how can I check to see if 1.4.2 is greater or lesser than 1.5 or whatever the minimum requirement is?

i suppose if you can get the number into a string, you could do a string comparison something like this

VB Code:

Dim n1 As String
 
n1 = "1.4.2"
 
Select Case n1
 Case Is > "1.5"
  MsgBox "greater"
 Case Is < "1.5"
  MsgBox "smaller"
 Case Else
  MsgBox "same"
End Select

casey.

Thanks, I didn't think you could do a string comparison with numbers like that.
