INLIST2 Function

Syntax

Result as L = INLIST2(C lookfor ,C comma_delimited_list )

Arguments

lookfor

The text you want to find.

comma_delimited_list

The text that you want to search.

Description

Case insensitive. Returns .t. if a string is found in a list of comma delimited values. Differs from inlist() in that the list to search is a single argument, rather than multiple arguments.

Discussion

Tests to see if a string is in a comma delimited list of values. Contrast this with the INLIST()function.

Example

? inlist2("red", "blue,green,red,yellow")
= .T.

Note that the INLIST() function takes a variable number of arguments.

? inlist("red","blue","green","red","yellow")
= .T.
