If child.name == String problem

Question

Hi to all! I have a very simple problem which is driving me crazy:

 for (var child :Transform in transform)
 {
      print(child.name);
      if(child.name=="ChildX")
      {
           print("I would love to see this message in the console");
           break;
      }
 }

Now, the first print is working fine. ChildX is in there. The second print, no.The child.name condition is never satisfied... It must be dead simple, what am I doing wrong? Many thanks for your help,

Gregzo

Maybe you have a space or something in the name of ChildX? How about case sensitivity?

Try this:

 print("[" + child.name + "] " + child.name.Length + " characters long");

to see if there are any whitespace in the name. The length should be 6 for your string.

I've tried it already, no spaces. I've tried rena$$anonymous$$g as well...

Silly me, the child's name was long and there was a typo. Thanks for helping, voted your answer up.
