Hi Clark The expression inside the if statement has it's variables dereferenced before evaluating and the non-variables are treated as constant expressions. In this case, a resolves to "b", b resolves to "c", and c is not a variable so it's treated as the constant expression "c". Thus
if(a STREQUAL b OR a STREQUAL c) gets evaluated as if( ("b" STREQUAL "c") OR ("b" STREQUAL "c") ) which is clearly false. Hope that helps. - Chuck
