strComp not doing what it should

[steven scaife]

Ok i need to compare 2 values from my array but strComp no matter what
returns 1 even though my comparison values are the same

if i do this

str1 = "wed"
str2 = "wed"
strComp(str1, str2) 'returns 0

but if i do

str1 = code(0)
str2 = code(1)
both are "wed" but it returns 1

however if i do

strComp(code(0), code(0)) 'returns 0

I am unsure why it returns 1 even when they are the same, i have even tried
cstr(code(0)) but it still returns 1

my code i am going to use in my page is but its probably irrelevant as its
suffering from same problems as outlined above

tia for the help

For i = 1 to loopcount
If strComp(code(0), code(i), 0) = 0 Then
Response.Write "<tr><td>You must enter the unique code for each item to
continue</td></tr>"
response.write "<tr><td align='center'><a
href='javascript:history.back();'>Please go back and re-enter</td></tr>"
Response.end
Else
Response.Write "<tr><td>The Codes are unique</td></tr>"
response.write "<tr><td align='center'><a
href='javascript:history.back();'>Please go back and re-enter</td></tr>"
Response.end
End If
Next

I think your array does not contain what you think it contains. This code
returns 0 when I run it:

<%
dim code(1)
code(0) = "wed"
code(1) = "wed"
Response.Write StrComp(code(0),code(1))
%>

Response-write your values to verify the array contains what you expect it
to contain.
