Printing a string variable to the output window

[Spiderbird]

Hi all,

I know I'm doing something really shortsighted, but I need help trying to fix this.

I've initialized a string variable called "LongEntry_EvalScore_Status" as a string data type. I assign a thread of text to it (something like "Situation 1"). When it comes time to print it in the output window with the following code....

Print("LongEntry_EvalScore_Status: " + LongEntry_EvalScore_Status);

Nothing appears to the right of the title. Am I missing a toString() somewhere, or does the output window handle string variables differently?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Yours,
Spider

Spider, what happens if you only print the LongEntry_EvalScore_Status variable upon hitting your print condition, with the title in front? Would you see a different outcome?

Hi Bertrand,

I went one step further and wiped out the title part of the print statement. So, it just reads:
Print(LongEntry_EvalScore_Status);

... but it still prints out a blank line in the Output window.

Now, it could be what I'm attempting to save as a string. Take a look at these and see if you think I'm attempting and weird character saves with these statements:

LongEntry_EvalScore_Status = "LE Scenario 2 - One hit now, one hit earlier";
LongEntry_EvalScore_Status = "LE Scenario 3 - No hit, but previous double hit";

Another possibility is that my conditions for these scenarios are not being hit, hence nothing's being printed. Still looking into it.

It actually ended up being the last possibility (i.e. the conditions were never hit). Thanks for the reply earlier all the same!
