Or statement

[gcue]

how can i accurately write an OR statment that would make for all these conditions?

If $user <> "SYSTEM" Or $user <> "LOCAL SERVICE" Or $user <> "NETWORK SERVICE" Then
    FileWrite($file,  '' &@CRLF & _
                 $assets[$x] & "," & $user & ", date")
EndIf

The Or needs to be an AND.

that worked..

trying to understand how that makes sense tho.

it would seem that because of the AND, all conditions must be met in order for it not to FileWrite

Try AND in place of OR. Your current conditions wouldn't allow for the correct distinction between the $user value.

It helps when you read it out loud, but your are testing for "Not Equal To" so when you use Or it means that it is Always true since there is always one of the tests True.
