Hi,i got a stringlist called objetive,the variable is @objetive.

I want to atack every element on that list,but some words like blood,an,a,or so.

I do:
#loop 1,%numitems(@objetive) {#if (%item(@objetive,%i)="a"|"blood"|"an") {kill %item(@objetive,%i)}}

That will ask to kill "a",and "an" too... Why?
How to get it to do what i want?
Other way could be using "=~ " instead of "=" but in that case,any word containing "a" or "an" will be omitted too.

Thanks for any help.

Well you could just remove the items you dont want to attack from the list. Or if the stuff is needed on the list make a seperate stringlist for the things you do want to kill.

The stringlist Objetive is generated everytime I enter a new room,so i cant do that

This is the simplest way, you could add to it by using a String List to hold things to remove (for exapmle "a|the|an|"

But here's the general idea:

objective = a|blood|monster|the|an

Trigger Value:

loopcount = %numitems( @objective)
#LOOP @loopcount {#IF (%item( @objective, %i)= "a") {
#DELNITEM objective %i
#SHOW %i
}}
#FORALL @objective {#SHOW you kiled: %i}

results in a @object stringlist of: blood|monster|the|an

resulting in an output of:

you kiled: blood
you kiled: monster
you kiled: the
you kiled: an

You'd only have to change the #IF statement to loop through the "exluded" members list. I'm at work and doing this offline. If you need more help let me know and I'll see what i can come up with.

Thankyou,but i couldnt find out the solution to my problem from that text; Ill ask it other way:
How to do next if does the #echo yes?

#if ("Un"={"Un"|"el"|"la"|"de"}) {#echo yes}

If i substitude = with =~ ,that will work,but will also work everytime any word containing "Un" or "el",etc,is on the list.

You only have a minor syntax error in your IF statement. You have: kill %item(@objetive,%i) in the true field of the if statement.
Just change the IF statement to:
#if (%item(@objetive,%i)="a" OR "blood" OR "an") {} {kill %item(@objetive,%i)}

And it should work.

#if ("Uonjk"="Un" OR "el") {#echo yes}
--> that echos yes
#if ("Un"="Un" OR "el") {#echo yes}
--> that too

What now?? =(

The best thing to do is make an exclusion list. For example:
#VAR ExcludedObjetives {a|an|the|blood}
Then in your alias to do the attacks:
#IF (%ismember(%item(@Objetive,%i),@ExcludedObjetives)) {#NOOP} {kill %item(@objetive,%i)}

Something everyone seems to have missed is that no matter whether you use | or OR, each comparison must be done separately. This won't affect Vijilante's solution since he's checking for membership in a list instead of comparing strings.
Original:
#if ("Uonjk"="Un" OR "el") {#echo yes}
Grouped to show actual order of operations:
#if (("Uonjk"="Un") OR ("el")) {#echo yes}
You are checking to see if "Uonjk" matches "Un" (no) or if "el" is a non-null string (yes). Since "el" is always a non-null string, you always have a yes for that side of the OR, so you always #echo yes.

Revised:
#IF ("Uonjk"="Un" OR "Uonjk"="el") {#echo yes} {#ECHO no}
This will now echo no, since "Uonjk" doesn't match either "Un" or "el".
