I find = is best for setting value and EQ is best for checking value.

Did you want to always check both reg and window? or is it an either/or question?

If (RegRead( "HKLM", "System\State\Hardware", "Headset" ) EQ 1)
   Run ("\Program Files\Tools\ScreenOff.exe")
ElseIf (wndActive ("Start"))
   PowerOff
Else
   Run ("\Windows\Display Switch.lnk")
EndIf

EQ makes all the difference, works perfect.
Thanks once again RoryB.

Which operator returns the results you expect depends on the results you expect... Are you dealing with a number, or a string? Compare these:

Message("03" = 3)
Message("03" eq 3)

The first line outputs 1 (TRUE), the second outputs 0 (FALSE). Which is correct? Both.

The first line is using a numeric comparison, so it coverts the "03" to the number 3, sees 3=3, and returns TRUE.

The second line is using a alphanumeric comparison, so it converts the 3 to "3", sees "03" eq "3", and returns FALSE.

EDIT:
This very much applies to the other comparison operators too... look at this:

Message(2 < 10)
Message(2 lt 10)

The first returns 1 (TRUE), as you would expect, since 2 is less than 10.
What you might not expect is that the second returns 0 (FALSE). This is because it gets converted to "2" lt "10", and it does the comparison character by character in the strings... "2" is greater than "1" in the character map, so the comparison is FALSE.

Yah these were the issues I had expected. U r right with the not comparing other numbers as true.
I hadn't meant to compare 1,2,3,4 values to True, I had really meant to evaluate 1,2,3,4 as True.

test=3
If (test)
	message ("Is True")
EndIf

So i would expect this to work:

If (RegRead( "HKLM", "System\State\Hardware", "Headset" ))
   Run ("\Program Files\Tools\ScreenOff.exe")
ElseIf (wndActive ("Start"))
   PowerOff
Else
   Run ("\Windows\Display Switch.lnk")
EndIf

And now that I am clear on True = 1, and I would expect this to be more exact (in this case):

If (RegRead( "HKLM", "System\State\Hardware", "Headset" ) = True)
   Run ("\Program Files\Tools\ScreenOff.exe")
ElseIf (wndActive ("Start"))
   PowerOff
Else
   Run ("\Windows\Display Switch.lnk")
EndIf

Sometimes it is beneficial of course to treat numbers as numbers/booleans and strings as strings (of course).

ok.

since we r clarifying things with eq / LT / GT.

i have wondered if lt works as a alphabetizer?

Is "Ant" lt "Anu" ?
Is "Ants" gt "Ant" ?

On the first, yes. On the second... I would think so, would have to check (would think the added "s" would make it "greater than"). Try it out:

Message("Ant" lt "Anu")
Message("Ants" gt "Ant")

EDIT:
Oh, one thing to remember about the alpha comparisons, case matters...

"ant" lt "Ant"

is TRUE.

Message("Ant" lt "Anu") returns 1
Message("Ants" gt "Ant") returns 1
Message("ant" lt "Ant") returns 0

Message("ant" gt "Ant") returns 1

Interesting... the last one returns 0? Hmm.

Message("A" lt "B")
#True

Message("Aa" lt "A")
#False

Message("A" lt "a")
#True

Message("a" lt "A")
#False

Message("aa" lt "A")
#False

It probly is simpler to first check on lowercase to lowercase. We can first see if this works for case where uper/lower doesnt apply, like file and directory names.

Ah, that makes sense then, I just had the order wrong. Upper case is before lower case in the character map.

Replacement for BREAK

---

Okay, if I don't want to use the beta version, I don't have the BREAK command. So how could I change this to work...

ForEach key, value in iniKeys ( UserFolder\"sort.txt","array" )
If ( Key eq LastImage )
Y = True
Endif
If (Y)
ArrayImg[I] = (Key)
I = I + 1
If ( I = ImageCount + 1)
BREAK
EndIf
EndIf
EndForEach




..........Thanks!

To be sure I understand. . .

You want to do foreach, but instead of doing all values in the sort.txt you want to stop once you reach a specific count or value?
This kind of has a feel of an ini file format where you would put data in categories and then you could do a foreach for that category only.
