MEL - getting values from array returns without using variables

In MEL, trying to create a group, if that group already exists delete it.
I can't get this working, if I remove the break the script works, but it creates too many erroneous groups, with the break in there it creates a single group, but then when I run the script again it ignores the if statement? Any idea what I'm doing wrong? string $transforms[] = `ls -tr`;for ($t in $transforms) { if ($t ==… -
