Issue with strings

[bwallens]

Hello,
I'm working on a script that checks the last modified date of a file and compares it to the date that was saved last time the script was run. I do this by using StrComp. The problem is that I can never get StrComp to return 0. In other words, the strings are never equal. I've thrown echo statements in key places and the dates look fine. Any ideas?
Maybe an ascii vs. unicode issue? Oh, well.. I'm lost on this one.
Thanks,
Ben

Well, here's something that might help --

string1 = "Please work"
string2 = "pLeAsE wOrK"

if (StrComp(cstr(string1), cstr(string2), 1) = 0) then
response.write("I work&quot
else
response.write("I don't work&quot
end if

The 1 up there is a constant for VBTextCompare, and makes the comparison case insensitive -- the cstr is just for sanity's sake so you are absolutely sure that whatever you're sending the function is definitely in the correct format --

let me know if that works --
