Yeah, I had it working that way too. I'm thinking maybe radio buttons can only retun numeric values. S'ok, I'm just going to work around it. int $radioValue = `radioButtonGrp -q -sl radioOptions`; string $radioAction; if ($radioValue == 1) { $radioAction = "Field Of Pain"; } else { $radioAction = "All Other Boxes"; } print ("Running the procedure on " + $radioAction +"\n"); Thanks for looking though. Nice to know it wasn't just me. :p
