I'm trying to use StringCompare(info,$INFO[]) but it's not working anymore.

Has there been any changes to this lately that could be causing the problem?

Thanks.

any easy way to reproduce it?

I'll make something up for Confluence.

Try without $INFO[], StringCompare(Window(Home).Property(NextAired.1.ShowTitle),ListItem.TVShowTitle) works... I think there are some problems because it shouldn't work without $INFO imo.

That fixed it, thanks Black.

So is this the intended behaviour now?

I don't think so, will need to check what changed that

ok, got some more info on this matter:

You can use $INFO but there is a catch: if You are using $INFO it will just convert $INFO[whatever here] to constant string when window is loading and will always compare to that constant string - so listitems are out of luck here currently as they are dynamicly created after window is loaded

This is common for StringCompare and SubString and IMO it shouldn't be like this propably
