Re: Special Character's in a string Compare

Steve,

Thanks, however the results are the same. The syntax of the Case
statement and the If statement are the same. In your example the only way
the string with the (1) is shown is in the Case Else statement.
Unfortunately there are other possibilities that I must exclude, that is why
I am looking for onf those two exact strings. Any other ideas?

Watch for line wrap (each Case .. statement should be on one line)

Select Case lcase(strVal)
Case "server.test.com": Wscript.Echo "Value Name: " & arrValueNames(x)&"
= " & strVal
Case "server.test.com(1)": Wscript.Echo "Value Name: " &
arrValueNames(x)&" = " & strVal
Case Else: Wscript.Echo "Value Name: " & arrValueNames(x)&" = " & strVal
End Select
