Hello all,

I am scratching my head over this one.
I have a method:

def dispatchFile(file)
  song =3D Convert.new(file)
  case type
  when 'ogg'
    song.oggToWav
    song.wavToOgg  if $outtype =3D=3D 'ogg'
    song.wavToMp3  if $outtype =3D=3D 'mp3'
    song.wavToM4b  if $outtype =3D=3D 'm4b'
    song.wavToFlac if $outtype =3D=3D 'flac'
  when 'mp3'
<etc....>
  end
end

When I run this code the 'if's are never evaluated. That is, I have printed=
=20
$outtype, and it has a valid value, but the second method which matches the=
=20
value never runs. If I comment out the 'if' and run the two methods manuall=
y=20
it works fine.

In my tests $outtype's value is 'mp3', so why doesn't song.wavToMp3 run?
What am I missing?

Thanks for consideration,
=2Dd
=2D-=20
