Hi,
i have a script that compares a string from a list to some other string
first: String1 we call it "String A"
second: String2 we call it "String A" and is in a list

when i do
if (String1==llList2String(list, i)) {} i get false how come? the strings are clearly the same

can someone help? this is killing me!!!

Thanks
Mobius

Make sure they're the same. Have the script tell you the values before the conditional:

CODE
llOwnerSay("String1 = \"" + String1 + "\"");
llOwnerSay("llList2String(list, i) = \"" + + "\"");
if (String1==llList2String(list, i)) {}
The escaped quotes are great for detecting accidental whitespace.
