title: How to Compare two variables in Robot Framework
body: <p>I am using the following keywords to compare two variables ${status} and ${command} both of which actually have a URL in them. I am trying to perform some action if both of them are equal but I am getting syntax error when I run them. I am using RIDE.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Run Keyword If  |   '${status}'=='${command}'   | Click xyz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please let me know if I need to add more info to this question. I am using RIDE as an IDE.</p>
  
  <p>Editing for error:
  I am getting the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FAIL : Evaluating expression ''xpath=//*[.='Published']'=='xpath=//*[.='Published']'' failed: SyntaxError: invalid syntax (&lt;string&gt;, line 1)
  </code></pre>
