Create "if" action based on wifi SSID?

[Clay Whitenack]

Hi all, I'm trying to get a Tasker task to first check if it is connected to a specific wifi network before it runs a portion of the task.  I have read some other posts on here and this is what I have so far...

Variable Set - %wifi to %WIFII

Variable Split - %wifi

Flash - text %wifi4

So far so good.  When running the task up to this point, tasker flashes the current SSID info.  However, I haven't been able to use this info in an IF action.

Right now, I have...

IF - %wifi4 ~ WSI2 (<---- current wifi ssid)

...but this doesn't work.  The IF doesn't ever respond.  I have tried "matches", "equals", etc., but nothing works.

Hi!

Yes, but in quotation marks...
 

Right now, I have...

IF - %wifi4 ~ WSI2 (<---- current wifi ssid)

Works as expected... ;-)

Try

If %wifi4 ~ "WSI2"

If you read the documentation, you will find an easier solution: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/matching.html

No need for splitting the variable:

If %WIFII ~ *WSI2*

Hello,
  In you IF do you have "WSI2"

The double quotes "  or * on each side
Need to match the output of flash

Thanks Juergen and Scott!  Yes, that's it!  I wasn't using quotes.  And thanks Juergen, I hadn't seen the option for the * which removes the need for splitting.  I used that and it works now.  Thanks again!

Hi,

I am new to Tasker. I was trying to do the same thing but for some reason its not working for me.

Has anything changed since this discussion was over?

Any help would be great. Thanks!
