Try these variations to see if your variable contains --spaces, tabs, cr, or even multiple lines that are not visible in the variable watcher unless you click. You might be assuming that there are only 4 chars in gSaveInputPath
------------------------------- answer " length(gSaveInputPath) = " & length(gSaveInputPath) if gSaveInputPath = "true" then answer "test is indeed TRUE" if word 1 of gSaveInputPath is "true" then if gSaveInputPath contains "true" then if not(gSaveInputPath contains "false") then replace "true" with empty in gSaveInputPath answer " length(gSaveInputPath) = " & length(gSaveInputPath) Different tests for different conditions Jim Ault Las Vegas On 3/6/07 7:23 AM, "Len Morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In my now 3 year long quest to write just ONE useable Rev program, I was > close but ran into something that I just can't figure out.
