Hi, The temp_var string can start with either an alphabet or a number but the whole string is alpha numeric. 


    if($temp_var1 == $temp_var2 and $temp_var2 == $temp_var3)
        {printf LOG"1";}
        if($temp_var2 != $temp_var1 and $temp_var3 == $temp_var2)
        {printf LOG"2";}
        if($temp_var2 eq $null and $temp_var3 eq $null)               
+ 
        {printf LOG"3";}
        if($temp_var3 == $temp_var1 and $temp_var2 eq $null)
        {printf LOG"4";}
        if($temp_var1 != $temp_var2 and $temp_var3 eq $null)
        {printf LOG"6";}
        if($temp_var2 != $temp_var1 and $temp_var3 != $temp_var1)
        {printf LOG"5";}
        if($temp_var1 == $temp_var2 and $temp_var3 != $temp_var1)
        {printf LOG"5";}
        if($temp_var2 == $temp_var1 and $temp_var3 eq $null)
        {printf LOG"5";}
