Re: What makes a line a line in a chunk expression?
I would suggest you do some testing to find the real cause(s) of the situation.

Re: What makes a line a line in a chunk expression?
Jim, This works on my machine but as Sarah pointed out to me, it's actually pointless since they should NEVER be different (i.e., it should never pick something that is not on the list of options so why check?

What makes a line a line in a chunk expression?
I'm trying to go to a card based on the choice made in an option menu and it's not working right. Here's the gist of what I'm doing: on menuPick pChoice put the text of button taskBar into tChoices if pChoice is among the lines of tChoices then go to card pChoice end if end menuPick For some reason, this doesn't work. Is pChoice not a line? Since some of the cards have multi-word names, I can't use word. Am I missing something? len morgan ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Len, I can't see any reason why this shouldn't work. pChoice doesn't have to have a line break in it to be considered a line; the text just has to match a full line of the contents of the button.

There seems to be a problem somewhere here, but why do you need the comparison of the button you are comparing to is the one generating the menuPick? It's parameter can only be one of the lines so there seems no point in doing a check afterwards.
