Need a little help.

I was playing around with this script below. I would assume when the user inputs nothing that the script would instruct the user to try again (line 6). It doesn't seem to work that way. Also how do I get the cancel button and/or "x" button to close and end the script rather than continue with the next line of code.

    VBS Programming

Dim strPassword
strPassword = LCase (InputBox ("Guess the Secret Word!"))
If strPassword = "scripting" Then
	MsgBox "Correct"
ElseIf strPassword = " " Then
	MsgBox "You have to try, silly."
Else
	MsgBox "NOPE!"
End If

You're saying that the user is entering a single space " ". What you want is an empty string "".

Also, pressing the Cancel button returns an empty string as well.

OK. I will fix the code. As far as the cancel button if it is returning an empty string shouldn't it run line 6 to instruct the user to try? It doesn't however end the script. It treats it as a wrong input and continues with the next line of code.

Read my last post again.

You're also not instructing your script to end anywhere. Trying using WScript.Quit wherever you want it to end.
