Is there a way to do a conditional for string variables that are set as blank? Is it technically blank if I hit enter and move on after the pipe, or is there another state that it would be in? --?"[&name]" -eq ""| comes back as false, so I was curious.

So a workaround for checking if a string variable is empty is to use something like: --?"X[&name]" -eq "X" It's what I use and also I think I've seen Kurt J's examples also use something similar.

This blank check doesn't seem to work with the false step. --?"X[&ShipDesc]" -eq "X"||[--+ | [br] --+Pirate Ship|[&ShipDesc]--]| That there comes up blank, it doesn't run the false printing when ShipDesc has

Code block if/else has a different synation than what you are using. That above would look something like this: --?"X[&ShipDesc]" -eq "X"|[ --+ | [br] --]|[ --+Pirate Ship|[&ShipDesc] --]| The `--]|[` is the else syntax for a code block.
