Debugger is getting mixed up

[cmdolcet69]

I have the fololwing code, it is simple yet the flag will never be hit
for some odd reason

Dim STRdata as string
Dim setRedFlag as boolean

If STRdata = "" then
setRedFlag = true
end if


When i debug the line I get a string value for STRdata = "1.00"
however if STRdata = ""

and i add watch on STRdata= it will give me a value of true

Why is the debugger getting mixed up?

Re: Debugger is getting mixed up

This is answered in the thread where you first asked the question. Put
simply, you cannot rely on the characters displayed in a debugger watch to
prove that a string is equal to "" or to nothing. A string can include
things that are not displayable.
