#IF expression having more than one condition
|
This may be a simple one, but I couldn't find the answer in a previous post.
I have a simple trigger that populates the long name of a mob to the variable "lstarget". The long name may be something like "a lumbering turtle" or "the robber thief", etc. I want to strip the "A, a, an, the..." article.
Is there any way to do the following and get it to work right?
#IF (%word(@lstarget,1)="A|an|the") {etc..}
Or do I have to do this:
#IF ((%word(@lstarget,1)="A") || (%word(@lstarget,1)="an") || (%word(@lstarget,1)="the")) {etc...} |

#IF (%word(@lstarget,1)="{A|an|the}") {etc..}

#if (%ismember(%word(@IsTarget,1),"A|an|the")) {...}

Thanks Matt. Worked perfectly. I don't know why I didn't think of ismember.
