Hi Guys, iv hit another brick wall

i want the user to enter a string in a input object and compair it to a table that is read from a text file......

well you can't compare tables and strings just like that.

for example (visual mode)

ieString = "Hello World"

ieTable = {"Hello World", "this is me", "etc"}

to compare string to table you should analyze the content of the table (text file is read by lines. each line is a value inside the table) in the example you should do something like:

if ieString == ieTable[1] (where the number inside the brakets is the index and begins with 1) do
whatever
end

lol, i got it, i had it right all along but it wasent working because i uploaded the txt file in binary mode and it got all messed up and was only reading to a 1 line table,

    for i,k in regfile do
    check = String.Compare(getcode,k );
        if check ~= 0 then
        failed = true
        else
        result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "code was right.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
        failed = false
        end
    end
