A german user asked if it was possible to clone deck B to A if the selected file in browser is the same as the one already playing on B. Otherwise just load the track to A.
This is what I tried but didn't work:
get_browsed_filepath & param_equal "`deck 2 get_filepath`" "string" ? deck 2 clone_deck : deck 1 load

Shouldn't it be
deck 1 clone_deck 2
deck 1 clone_deck 2

Thought so yes, but vdj will clone it to the opposite deck of the selected(?) One.
But that is not the part that is not working.
The if-comparison doesn't work.

param_equal '`deck 2 get_filepath`' 'M:\Music\Breaks\Brassic Beats Vol. 2 - 1997\Indian Rope Man - Indian Rope Man.flac' ? blink : on
This is working here (blinking a custom or on )

Here you go.
param_equal '`deck 2 get_filepath`' '`get_browsed_filepath`' ? deck 2 clone_deck 1 : deck 1 load
Tell the user I'll invoice them later.

Aha, that is the syntax for the param equal command.
The vdj description for this command is rather poor.
Or I'm too stupid to get it.
Thanks in advance and I'll tell him about your invoice.

I agree with the syntax being a bit unclear, I just keep trying things,
The "param" scripts I do sometimes need to take a few attempts at.

The old v7 syntax (get_x & param_equal y) compares only numbers.
The syntax with 2 parameters compares strings (param_equal "`action1`" "`action2`" or param_equal "`action1`" "string")

Yeah, if you know this it is totally clear and makes sense. And if you know this the description is okay too. But as you can see in my attempt I thought I had to put “string“ behind the param thing because the thing I wanted to compare was a string. I thought it was kind of a type casting.
I tried a lot of different versions with different “ and ' and ` but not this one.
Maybe you can change “string“ in the description to “someText“. Makes it more clear a) because a normal user might not know what a string type is and b) someone who knows it might get confused. Just like me.
