I thought this might amuse you …go ahead, laugh at my expense!

It the course of trying to debug a program, I found I had one Exec line that worked and one that didin't. I reduced the complexity to make debug easier, then put them on the same page to compare. I still could not see the difference.

Eventually I opened my Hex editor and manually did a byte-by-byte comparison and found the little blighter.

 I can't see the difference. What is it?

Thanks cogier, that makes me feel a whole lot better.

Let's leave it a few days, to see if someone else spots it. If not, I'll tell you at the weekend.

 My mate down the pub spotted it for me. I'll say nothing now…

It is amazing how a small glass of real ale can make you see more clearly.

Do you have any local breweries on the island, or is it all imported?

Err! I'm more of a lager lout than a real ale man. 8-) There is a some local brewing on the island, in fact, the lager I drink is brewed locally even though its originally a Dutch beer. Have a look here http://www.randallsbrewery.com/.

Steve, have you lost your identity or what?

Nice one jornmo.

When I'm in my man-in-a-hurry mode I just miss things like this. If I'd read it out loud to myself, I may have found it sooner.

So yes, the top line with "identify" works, the line with "identity does not work.

I have to admit, it was quite a tough one to catch!
