Hello,
Apparently this "bug" was fixed at some point. I upgraded to ComputerCraft 1.63 and now my armor/tool repairing turtles are clogging up because they can only match identically damaged items. Is there a new way to use compareTo and ignore the NBT value?

Thanks,
Xast.

(This topic split from here)

If you upgrade to 1.65, you can use the turtle.getItemDetail function to examine what an item is and make comparisons based on whichever pieces of the data you like. The compare functions cannot ignore any specific item attributes while comparing against others.
