Hello

I think I have spotted the reason for the problem.

You are trying to compare two string variables using a decision icon. Unfortunatley the decision icon cannot do this functionality.

First you will have to use a byte variable and a string manipulation icon. In the string manipulation properties click the functions button, select compare and click use function.

You then need to add your variables.

eg
bytevar = Compare$(in_string, Str1, 0)
or
bytevar = Compare$(in_string, Str1, 1)

The 0 is case sensitive and the 1 is case insensivite.

Then you can use the decision icon on the byte variable. If the byte is equal to 0 then you have a match.
