Conditional Decide with token label

I have a token label called "destination" that reads "DW_1 Mold".

I wanted to put a conditional decide if it reads that string then send to connector 1. But, when I run the program it sends to connector 2. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Software Version:

FlexSim 16.1.2

I could be mistaken but to me it looks like your destination is not a string but a pointer to an object. So I think that getname( getlabel( token, "destination" ) ) == "DW_1 Mold" might do the trick

You were correct @steven.hamoen. It pointed to a label on an object.

@steven.hamoen @Adrian Haws

do you know how to write getname( getlabel( token, "bayLocation" ) ) with the dot syntax in FlexSim 2017?

token.bayLocation.name

I would only use token.labels["labelName"] if your label has spaces in the name or you're using a variable to hold the label name.

@Kari Payton try getname( token.labels["NameOfLabel"] )

@steven.hamoen

the user manual says 'getname' is obsolete now. the way it is getname( getlabel( token, "bayLocation" ) ) works. I was just wondering how to rewrite with the new update.
