The paths had already been stripped off... as well as the file
extensions. It *appeared* to be a pretty vanilla list.
With the more liberal use of a Trim function (and an additional 7
hours of sleep) the matches now catch as I would expect... though I
haven't yet figured out what char was the culprit. Andre, Alex,
thanks for the support.

This seems a no-brainer but I've stalled. I'm reading names from
a text file and then creating files based on these names. I'd
like to check and see if the file already exists before creating
a new one. The text files were created in BBEdit. I unable to
figure out why I can't cause a match using my data. I've looked
at the variables in the debugger and even run charToNum
comparisons ( everyone seems to be using the ascii 10 LF.) But
even though it seem like it should match... it don't.
if tName is among the lines of tPreExisitingFiles then
-- never gets here
end if
alternately I tried
set the wholematches to true
if lineOffset(tName,tPreExisitingFiles) <> 0 then
-- never gets here
end if
Anything else I should check?

How is the list of files generated ? Whole path versus just the
file name ?
Send a sample of the file that you read ... maybe someone will spot
something ?
or try
if there is a file "tName" then
