Using textframe value in comparison

[Scaffold]

Hello everyone!
I need a macro that would do something with a textframe if it contains a specific text.
I try using the following code for comparison:

Dim value As String
value = shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
Dim res As Integer
res = StrComp(value, "testvalue", 1)

The problem is that StrComp function does not consider my values as equal even if they are 100% equal. In other words, it never returns 0.


What am I doing wrong? How can I make it work?
