quickbeam Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Here's something that isn't making sense. I have a variable that is false, and it prints as false, but when I do the if-then, it acts as true. Func SetConfigGui($cfgIndex) Local $kludgeVar = $UseStampVal[$cfgIndex] ; interpreter seems to have a problem here ConsoleWrite ("=> Setting GUI settings for config " & $cfgIndex & ", use stamp: " & $kludgeVar & ", key ref: " & $UDKeyRefVal[$cfgIndex] & @CRLF) If $kludgeVar = True Then If $kludgeVar = False Then ConsoleWrite ("We got system issues" & @CRLF) EndIf ConsoleWrite ("Stamp Val:" & $StampVal[$cfgIndex] & ", kludge " & $kludgeVar & @CRLF) Else ; never reached : : : EndFunc Produces: Quote => Setting GUI settings for config 2, use stamp: False, key ref: None Stamp Val:FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, kludge False I added the kludge variable just to eliminate the possibility of the index doing something weird.

water Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Check the type of $kludgeVar. When it is a string then you get True. $var = "False" If $var = True Then ConsoleWrite( "**" & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($var) & @CRLF) $var = False If $var = True Then ConsoleWrite( "**" & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($var) & @CRLF) quickbeam 1 My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickbeam Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Wow, how'd I get this far and not know that? I use different variables the same way, I hadn't noticed a problem, but now I'm going to have double-check everything. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 BTW, this lump of code doesn't make any sense. If $kludgeVar = True Then If $kludgeVar = False Then ConsoleWrite ("We got system issues" & @CRLF) EndIf ConsoleWrite ("Stamp Val:" & $StampVal[$cfgIndex] & ", kludge " & $kludgeVar & @CRLF) Else If $kludgevar were false, it would never get to the second test to check if it's false, and if it's true, the second test would fail. So what exactly would it accomplish with these 2 tests? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
