Apple

The idea is that the user picks a group from a list. Based on the group they choose, the three variables mode0, mode1 and mode2 are assigned. But it's not working. No matter which group the user chooses, the default 'else' is being executed and the variables are being assigned '-1'. I don't understand what's happening. I put in display dialogs all over the place to try to figure out what's going on. The first display dialog before the if statement works and tells me which group has been selected. But then it doesn't get into any of the if statement branches, except the default 'else'.

Here is the script:

set group to choose from list {"Group A", "Group B", "Group C", "Group D", "Group E", "Group F"} with prompt "Please select the group letter you have been assigned:"

display dialog "You selected " & group & "."

if group is "Group A" then

display dialog "You chose group A."

set mode0 to "0"

set mode1 to "1"

set mode2 to "2"

else if group is "Group B" then

display dialog "You chose group B."

set mode0 to 0

set mode1 to 2

set mode2 to 1

else if group is "Group C" then

display dialog "You chose group C."

set mode0 to 1

set mode1 to 0

set mode2 to 2

else if group is "Group D" then

display dialog "You chose group D."

set mode0 to 1

set mode1 to 2

set mode2 to 0

else if group is "Group E" then

display dialog "You chose group E."

set mode0 to 2

set mode1 to 0

set mode2 to 1

else if group is "Group F" then

display dialog "You chose group F."

set mode0 to 2

set mode1 to 1

set mode2 to 0

else

set mode0 to -1

set mode1 to -1

set mode2 to -1

end if

display dialog "Mode0 is " & mode0 & ", and Mode1 is " & mode1 & ", and Mode2 is " & mode2

Anyone have any ideas? I'm a proficient programmer, and I feel pretty dumb being stumped on an if statement. But I'm new to Applescript, so maybe it's something I'm just not aware of.

Thanks!
