Set a value range

Hi Steve and gang!

Say I want to set a value range 8-12 in a conditional statement like

if pp>8 AND pp<48

then // do this

else Exit Rules, Skip Outgoing Action

But I just checked BMT doesn't have boolean operators. So how would I do that?

Well I guess I can write it like this:

if pp<8 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action
if pp>12 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action
else // do this

But I'm also interested to know if there's a general rule or suggested procedures to concatenate conditionals.
What I'm doing now is basically exclude everything that don't belong to what I want to affect. But I see in the log a ton of processing, I'd like to keep this "cleaner".

Hi, 

No you cannot current contacenate boolean logic. There is note OR, AND ELSE, however I've posted the techniques I use for doing this below as some examples. I've put the actual complex operator logic in comments.

// If pp==1 AND qq==3 then rr=4 else rr=5
rr=5
If pp!=1 then skip next 2 rules
If qq!=3 then skip next rule
rr=4
//end

// If pp==1 OR qq==3 then rr=4 else rr=5
rr=5
If pp==1 then skip next rule
If qq!=3 then skip next rule
rr=4
//end

// if pp==1 AND qq==3 AND rr==4 then ss=5 else ss=6
ss=6
If pp!=1 then skip next 2 rules
If qq!=3 then skip next rule
If rr!=4 then skip next rule
ss=5

// if pp==1 OR qq==3 OR rr==4 then ss=5 else ss=6
ss=6
If pp==1 then ss==5
If qq==3 then ss==5
If rr==4 then ss=5

// parenthesis implicit here
// if (pp==1 OR qq==3 ) AND rr==4 then ss=5 else ss=6
/ first set the else
ss=6
// Now the OR
If pp==1 then skip next rule
If qq!=3 then skip next rule
// either pp==1 or qq=3
// Now the AND
If rr=4 then ss=5






// if pp==1 OR ( qq==3 AND rr==4) then ss=5 else ss=6
// else condition first
ss=6
// inside parenthesis AND
If qq!=3 then skip next rule
If rr!=4 then ss=5
// OR outside parenthesis
If pp=1 then ss=5

Great to see such examples, thank you. I just printed them for further reference.
