First to answer your question  you set a variable to true or false by assigning True or False to it   myFirstVar   True myOtherVar   False   If you have a condition that is basically like this though   if  lt condition gt       var   True else      var   False   then it is much easier to simply assign the result of the condition directly   var    lt condition gt    In your case   match var   a    b

match var   a  b   that should more than suffice  you cant use a - in a variable name as it thinks that is match  minus  var  match 1 var 2  print match-var   prints -1
