j95661 j95661 Getting the hang of it Registered: 2001-02-27 Posts: 84 Loc: sacramento,ca usa	I cant figure out what am I doing wrong. I am setting a variable and the first time I try and set it it doesnt stick. The second time though it works. This is with version 4.20 Dim $ErrMessage $ErrMessage = "testing 123" ? $ErrMessage "no output is shown" $ErrMessage = "testing 321" ? $ErrMessage "testing 321" What am I doing wrong? [ 16.

I suspect you must have something else in your actual script lines which is causing the problem. [ 16. May 2003, 10:16: Message edited by: Richard H. ]

Dim $ErrMessage $ErrMessage = "testing 123" ? $ErrMessage "nada" $ErrMessage = "testing 321" ? $ErrMessage "testing 321" I'm going to try downloading 4.20 again, maybe I have a corrupt file. _________________________ WonderBoy Constantly learning everyday, how much I dont know :-)

The first variable is not being set , all the following variables are fine. I guess I can set a throw away variable in the begining. very odd, Im running windows XP is this a feature. :-) ooh well if this is all I run into I cant complain. _________________________ WonderBoy Constantly learning everyday, how much I dont know :-)

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Hi Jason, No, it is NOT a feature of XP or any one of the other Windows operating systems. Try this. Download KiXtart 4.21 http://www.gwspikval.com/jooel/files/KiX2001_421.zip http://www.scriptlogic.com/downloads/kix/KiX2001_421.zip http://www.kixhelp.com/Downloads/KiX2001_421.zip Then extract just the KIX32.EXE file to a NEW folder called C:\MYTEST Then using NOTEPAD create the following code and save it to the new folder MYTEST and name it MESSAGE.KIX Dim $ErrMessage $ErrMessage = "testing 123" ? $ErrMessage Then start a DOS Prompt and change to the new folder C:\MYTEST and do a DIR The ONLY thing that should now be in this new folder is: KIX32.EXE MESSAGE.KIX Then type EXACTLY as below including FULL PATH and press the Enter key: C:\MYTEST\KIX32.EXE C:\MYTEST\MESSAGE.KIX Then let us know what you get reported on screen. You should see this on screen: C:\MYTEST\KIX32.EXE C:\MYTEST\MESSAGE.KIX testing 123
