If Not not working properly

[Swimming_Bird]

Is it my code that is messing up?

If Not StringRight ( $wpipath , 1 ) = "\" Then $wpipath = $wpipath & "\"
If Not StringRight ( $installs , 1 ) = "\" Then $installs = $installs & "\"

why not just use

If StringRight ( $wpipath , 1 ) <> "\" Then $wpipath = $wpipath & "\"
If StringRight ( $installs , 1 ) <> "\" Then $installs = $installs & "\"

Are you sure that the last character in $wpipath and $installs is not a cr or lf or crlf or space or something else?

Try:

$var = StringRight($installs,1)
msgbox(1,"Last char is:",$var)

$wpipath and $installs are strings read from an ini file. so afaik they couldnt have any of those things, a space may be in there, but i dont mind it erroring out if someone messes up the ini file and puts a space there.

why not just use

If StringRight ( $wpipath , 1 ) <> "\" Then $wpipath = $wpipath & "\"
If StringRight ( $installs , 1 ) <> "\" Then $installs = $installs & "\"

worked great thanks, i didnt realize <> meant not equal to. i didnt even know <> existed.
