Because there is no
such thing as a string array. When it's true (the correct or "true" bar is
selected) all occurrences are true and when it's false everything is
false.

procedure
as far as I can tell, FA() should
and does return TRUE on and only on the bar where foo==33; That
operates as I expect.
It's FB() that I don't get,
because it does not return TRUE only on the bar where foo == 33, but,
when the 33 bar is selected, it returns TRUE for every bar in the
array.
As I think about it it must be
that FA() is numeric while FB() is array-based. But how can I get FB()
to return an array in which only foo(barcount-10) is
true?

foo ==33 is not a correct
structure.
== is used as an equality test.
Not an assignment of value.

Could someone
explain to me why these two function don't work the same way?
foo[BarCount-10] = 33;
procedure FA() {return foo
==33;}
procedure FB() {return StrFind(NumToStr(foo), "3");}
