Is there a way to compare 2 objects .like so:

object pfsong,ledzepsong

pfsong=3D{"money, it's a gas",
          "grab that cash      ",
          "with both hands    " ,
          "and make a stash"}
=20
ledzepsong=3D{"theres a lady in short",
                    "all that glitters is gold",
                    "and she's buying a    ",
                    "stairway to heaven....."

compare(pfsong,ledzepsong)

What I really looking for is to check if an object that is more than one =
line long is "empty" or not, something like:

if pfsong=3D0 then
puts(1,"nothing in it")
end if

Thanksssss

mmm... maybe something like:

procedure check_empty(sequence temp)
  if length(temp) > 0 then -- check if temp is not empty
    for I =3D 1 to length(temp) do -- check all the subsequences
        if length(temp[I]) =3D 0 then -- if a subsequence is empty
            puts(1,"nothing in it") -- then warn about it
        end if
    end for
  end if
end procedure

object pfsong,ledzepsong


pfsong=3D{"money, it's a gas",
          "grab that cash      ",
          "with both hands    " ,
          "and make a stash"}
=20
ledzepsong=3D{"theres a lady in short",
                    "all that glitters is gold",
                    "and she's buying a    ",
                    "stairway to heaven....."

check_empty(pfsong)
check_empty(ledzepsong)

Hope this helps!
