Hi Shani,

as Craig predicted, it's a typo. Your script says:

if pResult is "XYZ reached at goal" then
>

and you say pResult =:

" XYZ reached at goal "
>

notice there is a space both at the beginning and end of the actual result,
but not so in the if test, i.e.

"XYZ reached at goal" = " XYZ reached at goal "

is false.
