if then else in javascript

[bjornhenrikformo]

I am a totally newbie in javascript...

I want to do the following with a script which can be regarded as a
windows logon-script:

If WindowsUsername_starts_with_the_letters "ABC" then
'do som stuff
else
'do something else
end if

Anybody know how to do this - the syntax of the if - then - else -
endif & how to match the first 3 letters of a windows username with a
given 3 letters "ABC" (case insensitiv)?

Will be appreciated!

That is the basics, did you read the NG faqs?

You can find that all there.

I don't know how to get the Windows username, but other than that...

re = /^abc/i;
if (WindowsUsername.match(re))
{
//do come stuff
}
else
{
//do something else
}

re is a Regular Expression object. It describes a string where the
first three characters are "abc" in any case.

re = /^abc/i;
if (WindowsUsername.match(re))
{
//do come stuff
}
else
{
//do something else
}

Since the complex result of successful .match() is not needed,

if (/^ABC/i.test(WindowsUsername))
{
// do some stuff
}
else
{
// do something else
}

Are FIPS respected by .gov users?

Not possible via javascript.

var username = prompt('Please enter your username');
