Comparison isn't finding as true; but values sent to MsgBox show it should be....

Here is a portion of my code..

Code:

---

    'Loop through each SOP audit file
        For Each oFile In oFiles
            'MsgBox (RemoveLeadingZeroes(Split(oFile.Name, "-")(2)))
            'Loop through all SOP IDs stored in COL A
            For Each cel In SOPID
                MsgBox (RemoveLeadingZeroes(Split(oFile.Name, "-")(2)) & " : " & cel)
                'See if SOP ID in COL A matches SOP ID in Audit file name
                If RemoveLeadingZeroes(Split(oFile.Name, "-")(2)) = cel Then
                    MsgBox ("Match found on SOP ID: " & cel)
                End If
            Next cel
        Next oFile

Here is a screenshot of the values being compared using the line...

Code:

---

MsgBox (RemoveLeadingZeroes(Split(oFile.Name, "-")(2)) & " : " & cel)

Why isn't the If() statement triggering the MsgBox saying there is a match if both values do in fact match? Is it treating one as a string and the other value as a range? Could that affect it?

Got it...needed to use Trim() to remove some whitespace!
