This is an easy problem, i'm just looking for a command.

I have a list, and i want to check if an item is on the list. If i isn't, i'll perform some tasks relating to the item then add it to the list.
It's a list of "items i've done stuff too" baiscly.

Please help! Thank you.

%ismember as in #if %ismember(%1,@ListOfStuff) {do something if it is} {do something if it isn't}

Nope, there's no command. There's a function, though, called %ismember(). This will return the number of the first item that matches, or 0 if it doesn't exist in the stringlist.

To use it like you want, you'll probably want the #IF command:

#IF (%ismember(item to look for, "stringlist to look in")) {stuff to do if on the list} {stuff to do if not on the list}
