Detecting lines with "*****"

[Buenot]

How can I detect if a line has "*****" (five * characters)
Actually they are *'s (not wild characters).

I can strip the portion of the field using
test = substr($2, 1, 5),
but if (test = "*****") does not work.
What do I need to add/change?

Thanks,
Bueno

Hi

Is that a typo or you actually wrote it with only one equal sign ? Correctly :

if (test [red]==[/red] "*****") print "five stars"
