Declared variable returns a different result?

Ok, so I've been working on this script and I've gotten to a part where the script looks for specific text in a subject line of an email, if found it is supposed to declare a variable:

$emailtext=WinGetText("Inbox - Microsoft Outlook", "")
    $reprint1=StringInStr($emailtext,"Reprint 3",0)
    If (Not $reprint1=0) Then $Recent2="Reprint3" And $job=3
    $reprint2=StringInStr($emailtext,"Reprint 2",0)
    If (Not $reprint2=0) Then $Recent2="Reprint2" And $job=2
    $reprint3=StringInStr($emailtext,"Reprint 1",0)
    If (Not $reprint3=0) Then $Recent2="Reprint" And $job=""

I have also tried:

$emailtext=WinGetText("Inbox - Microsoft Outlook", "")
    $reprint1=StringInStr($emailtext,"Reprint 3",0)
    If (Not $reprint1=0) Then $Recent2=IsString("Reprint3") And $job=3
    $reprint2=StringInStr($emailtext,"Reprint 2",0)
    If (Not $reprint2=0) Then $Recent2=IsString("Reprint2") And $job=2
    $reprint3=StringInStr($emailtext,"Reprint 1",0)
    If (Not $reprint3=0) Then $Recent2=IsString("Reprint") And $job=""

but in both cases $Recent2 is returned as "True"!

what gives?

I think this will achieve what you want.

your logic was incorrect in your code

"Reprint3" And $job=3

will always evaluate to True

$emailtext = WinGetText("Inbox - Microsoft Outlook", "")
If StringInStr($emailtext, "Reprint 3", 0) Then
    $Recent2 = "Reprint3"
    $job = 3
ElseIf StringInStr($emailtext, "Reprint 2", 0) Then
    $Recent2 = "Reprint2"
    $job = 2
ElseIf StringInStr($emailtext, "Reprint 1", 0) Then
    $Recent2 = "Reprint"
    $job = ""
EndIf

Ahhh, I thought And meant "as well as" in other words a way of linking multiple commands, kinda like "do this AND do that"
