Hey, thanks for the pointer... now i no longer get the Unknown
command error, however I am running into another problem.
I am trying to compare a character to the # character and do something if it is an equivalent character.

However this if statemnt only outputs false, that is it always goes to the ELSE section... any idea why?


Code:
;get the 1st character on the left side of the text line
  /var %left_text = $left(%temp,1)

  /echo LeftText is: %left_text

  if (%left_text == #) {
    /write $mircdir $+ \z_output.txt %temp
    /echo true
  }
  else {
    /write $mircdir $+ \z_skipped_output.txt %temp
    /echo false
  }
