Variable is not or <> comparison failing....

[MuffettsMan]

$sftpStatus = 'FAILED'
If $sftpStatus <> 'FAILED' Then
   $sftpStatus = 'SUCCESS'
EndIf
ConsoleWrite($sftpStatus & @CRLF)


$sftpStatus = 'FAILED'
If Not($sftpStatus = 'FAILED') Then
   $sftpStatus = 'SUCCESS'
EndIf
ConsoleWrite($sftpStatus & @CRLF)

Outputs:

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "D:\tmp\test.au3"   
FAILED
FAILED
>Exit code: 0    Time: 0.047

trying to toggle the variable but can't seem to find a valid workaround for !=... assuming I'm having an id10t error

I don't understand the question. You're setting the  variable to failed, then checking if it's not failed, set to success... Since it is failed, it's not going to set to success, and will return failed. This is the expected output. Are you trying to set to success if it's something other than failed? Then you should set the variable to something else.... Which with your code It would seem that it would set as success
