How are you defining the strSelectedObject variable? String, int or variant?
Also if you do a say on the strSelectedObject variable you should be able to
determine the contents of the variable.

Subject: [jawsscripts] GetSelected text
Hi folks. I'm experiencing some strange behaviour with get selected text. In
this app, a selected object can be named whatever you like, so like the file
name or simply a letter. So, there's no knowing how long the name will be or
what will be displayed on screen.
A feature is to zoom in and out, which in turn expands or contracts the visible
text.
For example:
A file could be called "hello there", but if your zoomed out, then it could
display as "hlo tre".
Now the issue is, storing this in a variable is returning a different value,
depending on whether you get it or say it. E.g:
Let strSelectedObject = GetSelectedText()
; if the full file name is visible, all is well If FindString( GetRealWindow(
GetFocus()), strSelectedObject, S_BOTTOM, S_UNRESTRICTED) Then
Say( strSelectedObject, OT_STRING, TRUE) Else ; If the file name is
contracted, then we fail
Say( msgNoObjectStatusSelectedTrackError, OT_STRING, TRUE)
It seems as if, when the full file name is visible, then all works OK, if it's
different on screen to what the function is returning, then it fails. So, does
anyone know if this "get selected text" function is returning the full file
name, then comparing it to the visible selection? If so, any ideas on how to
solve this? THX Steve.
