How to compare 2 strings using condition

Hi guys

I´m trying to compare two strings using a condition but the result is always wrong... can anyone help me?

For example: 

the value of compose 3 is 322,30 € (locale de-de), the value of compose 4 is 1000,00€ (locale de-de)

 

The check in the condition is: if compose 3 is equal or greater than compose 4 

 

Why would the result be true? 

 

Regards,

Lisa

    Since string comparison works different from Number comarison, you first have to convert these string to numbers.

    1. Remove the dot
    2. Replace the comma with a dot
    3. Remove the €
    4. Remove the whitespace
    5. Use float to convert
    float(
	trim(
		replace(
			replace(
				replace(
					'1.000,00 €',
					'.',
					''
				),
				',',
				'.'
			),
			'€',
			''
		)
	)
)
