Thank you, Thomas.
Yes. You are right when you said that it is case sensitive
as in the following example...
-- Welcome to Director --
put gList
-- ["Earth", "Jupiter", "Mars", "Venus", "Saturn"]
put getPos(gList, "Earth")
-- 1
put getPos(gList, "EARTH")
-- 0
put getPos(gList, "earth")
-- 0
-- Your script at work.
addItem(gList, "earth")
put gList
-- ["Earth", "Jupiter", "Mars", "Venus", "Saturn", "earth"]
addItem(gList, "EARTH")
put gList
-- ["Earth", "Jupiter", "Mars", "Venus", "Saturn", "earth", "EARTH"]
Maybe going through each item on the list is till the safest one.
Thanks again for your help.
