ARRAY(str) code = x[0 0]
comparison part
if code ="yippie"

It is some information out of an excel sheet, and x is just a name

Your question is simple but I don't understand the example.
Which part is what you don't know how to do? Compare strings? Compare arrays? Compare array elements? Store strings in a file?

The information stored in the string, is somehow gone later in the macro in the comparison part. It is separated in several parts so i can use the goto command to jump to it. Is it possible to store this and use it later in the comparison part? this is what i mean.
Sorry for the inconvenience...

If something is stored in a variable, it cannot disappear while the macro is running.
If the macro runs several times, and a variable must be preserved, use global variable.
str+ globalVar
Maybe I can help if you post whole macro. Insert comments where the variable is populated and where compared.
