OK, I cannot figure out what is going on here. I am passing a variable (Task$) from one function to another function. In the second function, I have the following line:

Length = LEN(Task$)

Just to check it was OK....I told the program to print the value of Length. It never prints the proper length....sometimes 1 sometimes 2!
Figuring that the variable Task$ wasn't being passed correctly, I told it to print out the variable and then print out the length. It printed out the string in it's entirety but still got the wrong length!!!! What the hell is happening?!!!

You're not adding a CR/LF or anything to the end of the string are you?

are you passing the variable Length to the other function, you said you are using 2 functions ?, MyFunction(Length, Task$).
or make Task$ and Length Global variables.

Here are the 2 culprit functions involved. Does it matter that the string being passed from one function to another is stored in a non-global variable called Task$ when the functions all use the same name (Task$) for that string?
