Tasker -> If (math and pattern matching)

[RogueSpear]

I've just discovered that you can do addition or subtraction with
variables in an If statement:

%NEARHOME=1
%ATHOME=1


If %NEARHOME + %ATHOME = 2


I am wondering if I can use Tasker's pattern matching or ( / ) in this
fashion. Or would that be interpreted as performing math division?

You can, but the syntax is different then regexp's. See this:

I must have read this 100 times:

" In the If condition of an action, when the ~ (match) or !~ (not
match) operators are specified. "

yet for some reason it did not register in my brain.

Thanks...
