problems with "If" not working

[dsk04]

i am trying to write a md5 check sum checker, i have a list filled with 24,000 MD5 check sums... $fileq = FileOpen("FileList.txt", 0)

my "if" statement is not working and i know that it should... one of the the check sums should match one that i manual found for a file, it goes though the whole list without the "if" statement matching any

i tried msgbox in the "if" and it is never working

i am pretty new at coding and i am hoping to get this working, heres the code, what im i doing wrong?

Func LogFile($FileName)

Local $fileq

Local $XR3

Local $MD5

if $FileName = $lastfile then ;if 1

else

$plH = PluginOpen("C:\MD5Hash.dll")

$XR3 = MD5Hash($FileName, 2, True)

PluginClose($plH)

$XD2 = FileGetSize($FileName)

$filesize = $filesize + $XD2

$fileq = FileOpen("FileList.txt", 0)

if $XR3 = "0" then ;if 2

ToolTip($FileName & @CRLF & "File In Use." & @CRLF & Round($XX2 * $filesize, 3) & "%",0,0)

else

ToolTip($FileName & @CRLF & "MD5: " & $XR3 & @CRLF & Round($XX2 * $filesize, 3) & "%",0,0)

While $fileq

$MD5 = FileReadLine($fileq)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

$result = StringCompare($XR3, $MD5, 2)

if $result = "0" then ;if 3

MsgBox(0, "Search result:", $result)

$FileCnt = $FileCnt + 1

FileWriteLine("dups.txt", $FileName) ; line for deleting file

FileDelete($FileName)

endif ;if 3

Wend

EndIf ;if 2

EndIf ;if 1

FileClose($fileq)

$lastfile = $FileName

EndFunc

Does MD5Hash($FileName, 2, True) return a number or a character?

If it returns a number then you need this instead:

If $XR3 = 0 Then ;if 2
