Better Data comparison perhaps?

Oldbitcollector (Jeff)

I've become a bit stumped over a simple data comparison I'm working on for a passcode demo.

Code looks something like this...
relevant portion shown..

 repeat

    if key == 16384
      text.str(string("A"))
      code := code + "A"

    if key == 32768
      text.str(string("B"))
      code := code + "B"

    if code == combination
      outa[noparse][[/noparse]8]:=0  '' Turn off P8 showing deactivaed.
      
    waitcnt(12_000_000 + cnt)

         
DAT

combination  byte  "BA",0

For some reason my comparison sees the B entered first and thinks it's a complete match.
What am I not seeing?

Thanks

I think combination is defined as a byte so accessed as a byte so doesn't look at A, dont you want

code == word[noparse][[/noparse]@combination]

Duh! Thanks.. Just had to switch my brain back on..

Solved it mathematically instead, but I see the error of my original method.

Thanks!
