[jawsscripts] Re: help with multiple If statement entries not working?

Hi Geoff,
The problem with stringing conditions together in an if statement is always that the compiler/translator might choose to evaluate them in another order from the one you think is obvious. In any language, not just in JAWS scripting, it's far safer to employ parentheses liberally, to leave no possibility of confusion.

but james, do you not feel that three conditions like this, ought to be able 
to be successfully strung together with only the one, "then," at the end?

Hi Guys,

You are missing the "Then" keyword at the end of your conditions.

If you can send me all your scripts I might be able to help further. I
don't have all the functions to test.
What happens if you change the first line of the if statement to this?
if (GetTextInRect (345, 327, 501, 350) != "TakeAway Unit" ||
GetTextInFrame
("ConfirmTakeAwayCustomerDetailsTriggerConfirmTakeawayDetailsScreen") !=
  "Unit" && GetTextInRect (273, 327, 417, 350) != "Confirm Take") then

Are you saying if condition one or 2 are true and condition 3 is true
execute code?
It will still execute if condition 1 and 2 are both true as well.
It won't execute however if condition 1 is false and condition 2 is false. 
Or if condition 3 is false it won't execute.

Hope that isn't too confusing.
Let me know if you want further help and I will see what I can do.
