string conversion

[taval]

I have an array of strings and a normal string, I want to comapre them both do I need to convert the array to a string, this is what I currently do to compare them

array(whatevernumber) = lineoftext

but this does not seem to work.

How do I compare strings?

Thanks

There's a function strComp() to start with.
Look in the article about it in MSDN Library.

my code looks like this:

------
While not rsFiles.EOF

file = rsFiles("FileName&quot
rtn = InStr(1,file, ".&quot
if rtn > 0 then
extension = Right(file, (Len(file)-rtn+1))
end if

for l=0 to 49

if strComp(Cstr(extArray(l)),extension,1)=0 then
exit for
else
extArray(arrayinc) = extension
arrayinc= arrayinc + 1
exit for
end if
next

rsFiles.MoveNext
wend

for l=0 to 49
%>

<tr><TD BGCOLOR=&quot;#99FF99&quot;> <% Response.write extArray(l) %></TD></TR>
<%
next
-------------------------

Currently all the extensions are shown in the array, thats why I think my string comparision doesn't work.
If anyone can see a probelm could they plz tell me whats wrong. The code is meant to swift out all the duplicate extensions and leave only distinct extenstions in the array.

Thanks

There's an answer for your question there.
