I suggest making sure the strings returned by GetTextInRect don't
contain leading blanks, as this would prevent the comparisons you're
making from being True.

Guys. Sorry to be boring, I'm not that long into scripting, and even the 
most basic thing seems to be eluding me tonight! and I really would like 
this to work. if any kind soul could help me debug this simple if statement?
The Code follows: what I want to say is:
if this condition is so,
or, if this and this condition are so,
then do x. but it isn't working the way I'm writing it, so somethin is 
wrong. when I just have the first or, branch of it though, which is the 
screen I'm currently working with, it functions fine, so it's something to 
do with the  multiple statements that I'm messing up,
I've tried putting parens around only the two, and, statements, and around 
the whole thing from beginning of the first one straight after the if, and 
at the end, right before the then, which is the way it's written below here 
now, but neither one seems to function, not that I fvelt it should need 
parens around it anywhere really anyway!.
here comes  the code:
if (GetTextInRect (345, 327, 501, 350) != "TakeAway Unit"


|| GetTextInFrame 
("ConfirmTakeAwayCustomerDetailsTriggerConfirmTakeawayDetailsScreen") != 
"Unit"



&& GetTextInRect (273, 327, 417, 350) != "Confirm Take") then



LoadFrameSetFr ("CustomerDetails")



EndIf



in the above, the first if statement although definitely true, is not 
working as if the function thinks it's true, i.e. the text is present, and 
it's been told only if absent to follow through,

yet the LoadFrameSet function is still happily firing!

any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
