Is the method object string matched by any of the strings in the input list? (String class)
This intrinsic function returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the method object
string is matched by one of the strings in an input list of strings.
The input list of strings is concatenated in a single delimited longstring argument to the method.
A returned value of True signals a successful match.
The IsOneOf function is available as of version 7.3 of the Sirius Mods.
Syntax
%boolean = string:IsOneOf( list)
Syntax terms
| %boolean | An enumeration object of type Boolean to contain the returned value of IsOneOf. |
|---|---|
| string | The string to which the method is applied, the maximum length of which is 255 bytes. |
| list | A longstring that contains a delimited set of potential matching strings for the method object string. The strings in list are separated by a separator character, which must be indicated by the first character of the argument. The separator must be non-alphanumeric. The format of list is therefore
separatorString1[separatorString2]... |
Usage notes
- The stringSet argument must be non-null or the request is cancelled.
Examples
The following are IsOneOf sample statements:
%str is longstring %str = 'bleh' printText {~} = '{%str:isOneOf('/blah/bleh/blih')}' printText {~} = '{%str:isOneOf(',blah,bleh,blih')}' printText {~} = '{%str:isOneOf('/blah/blh/blih')}'
The results are respectively:
%str:isOneOf('/blah/bleh/blih') = True %str:isOneOf(',blah,bleh,blih') = True %str:isOneOf('/blah/blh/blih') = False
