Subj : Match getstr() to object
To   : All

I have a script that gets a partial string that needs to be matched against an
object/array.

var names = {
AD:"Andorra",
AE:"United Arab Emirates",
AF:"Afghanistan",
AG:"Antigua and Barbuda",
AI:"Anguilla", ... };

write(' \1cEnter Country Name to Lookup \1w'); 
		var lookup = console.getstr();
		writeln('\r\n \1cLooking up  \1w'+ lookup);
		for(var i = 0; i <= names.length; i++) {
			if(names[i][1].toUpperCase() ===
indexOf(lookup).toUpperCase()) {
				writeln(' Found ' + names[i] + ' ' +
names[i][0] + ' ' + names[i][1]);
			}
		}

if I enter, say lookup = 'Andor' it doesn't find anything ... 

any help would be appreciated :)


My doctor said I have the body of a 25 year old ... and the mind of a 10 :-/
