Assuming I have have a text box and a button on a page written in Rails what would be the code to compare a string inputted in that box with another string (non-dynamic开发者_开发知识库)?

Does Rails have the same structure as Java when testing If statements like:

IF text1 = text2 Then
... do something ...
Else
... do something ...

Thanks, Nick

if text1 == text2
  ...
elsif text2 == text3
  ...
else
  ...
end

In controller

if params[:text_box_name_1].to_s == params[:text_box_name_2].to_s

else

end
