: my code is:
: if (copy(sr.name,18,3) <>'CGL') and (copy(sr.name,1,3)<> '233') then continue;
: but it doesn't work! :(
: if I change the code to two If statements, it works. why?
: Is there any problem with the "and" operator?
: the two if statements:
: if copy(sr.name,18,3) <> 'CGL' then continue;
: if copy(sr.name,1,3) <> '233' then continue;
------------------------

There is nothing wrong with Delphi's "and" operator ;-)

1. Your first example is a logical "and" of two conditions:

   if Condition1 and Condition2 then ...;

2. But your second example with two If... statements, is a logical "or" of two conditions:

   if Condition1 then ...;
   if Condition2 then ...;

...which is equivalent to:

   if Condition1 or Condition2 then ...;
