multiple string values

Question

I have a string called strCurrentDirection, and I have set the value = "North""South""East""West". When i run through my subprocedure, I need to pull only one of these values out according to my case statements. i.e. If gstrCurrentDirection = "East" And gstrTypeOfTurn = "Left" Then CurrentPoint.Y -= 40 My problem is that it always pulls out the value "North". How can I fix that
