HI all.

I parse an xml file and then extract  the value in one
of its tags which is basically
text. Then I convert this text stored in a variable
called text into string,
and then i check for it in an if then else statement.

---------------------------------------------------------
text=
parserObj.child[1].child[1].child[3].child[1].text

Stext=string(text);
if (Stext="zip") then
          blah
      else
          blah blah
      end if
---------------------------------------------------------

When I print Stext it is infact "zip" but somehow the
check always returns
false...
Can somebody tell me y????
Also I realised that when i extracted a certain value
also from the xml file
which is essentially an integer and assigned it as the
width of a sprite it
didnt work, but when i divided it by 1 it did.

------------------------------------------
Wsize=
parserObj.child[1].child[1].child[2].child[1].text
sprite(11).width=Wsize/1
------------------------------------------------------
This I thought was probably because Wsize was
understood to be a string and
after division by 1 became an integer and hence it
worked.
But with this string problem there doesnt seem to any
solution out. I even
converted the extracted data into string but still it
doesnt work!!!

Can anybody tell me what should i do??
Thanx so much

Richie
