Hello kind people, ok so this sounds so simple yet I cannot get it to work. I have a main computer sending a message 'on' to a slave computer. The slave is listening out for this message and receives it fine, however when I check the equality of the message to run another program it does not run it. It seems to skip the if then statement and prints 'running'. I have tried using speech quotations and parentheses but it still does not work. you help would be greatly appreciated.

term.clear()
print ("Laser 3")
rednet.open("left")
id, message = rednet.receive()
print (message)
if message == "on" then
shell.run(lime)
end
print ("running")
I corrected the code. The main error is that you confuse strings with variables

thank you for your input, however I have tried the code exactly as you typed it, previously. I have just re-checked that way and unfortunately it still does not run the program.

my master computer sends user input. user input is 'on' for turning it on and will be 'off' for the obvious. my program runs through and even prints running at the end but does not execute the lime program?

ok, startup yw7X9LiA, lime eToEgviV, test p4kgviV. startup and lime are on the 'slave' computer and the test program is on the master. thanks.

It should be
shell.run ("lime")
Mind the quotes…
@Creator I think you're confusing strings and variables :P/> (just trolling, don't get mad pls)
