[mirkt]

Hello, Is there an elegant way of checking if string is in stringList? For now I am iterating and comparing..

Dear Wolf, that is not really what I was asking.. In many situations I have some kind of value and need to check if it is or it is not in some kind of a list (blacklist, whitelist, etc..).. "Contains" is not what I need.. I need "equals"! Funny things could happen with "contains" (ex. paths)..

Code: Alles auswählen

[Actions]
requiredWinstVersion >= "4.12.0.7"
encoding=utf8
LogLevel = "1"

DefVar $Something$
DefStringList $SomethingAllowed$

Set $Something$ = "a"
Set $SomethingAllowed$ = createStringList('ab', 'bc', 'cd')

if not(takeFirstStringContaining($SomethingAllowed$, $Something$) = "")
	Comment "I was there.."
endif

would result true:

Code: Alles auswählen

[6] [Lap 30 16:22:11:132] If
[7] [Lap 30 16:22:11:134]   takeFirstStringContaining($SomethingAllowed$, $Something$) = ""   <<< result false
[6] [Lap 30 16:22:11:137]   not(takeFirstStringContaining($SomethingAllowed$, $Something$) = "")   <<< result true
[6] [Lap 30 16:22:11:138] Then
[5] [Lap 30 16:22:11:140]   comment: I was there..
[6] [Lap 30 16:22:11:146] EndIf

Funny way of doing it could be:

Code: Alles auswählen

if not(count($SomethingAllowed$) = count(removeFromListByMatch($Something$, $SomethingAllowed$)))
	Comment "I was there.."
endif

There should be a better way of checking it element is in a list..

[larsg]

Code: Alles auswählen

if not(Count(GetListContaining($SomethingAllowed$,$Something$)) = "0")
   Comment "I was there.."
endif

;or

if (Count(GetListContaining($SomethingAllowed$,$Something$)) INT> "0")
   Comment "I was there.."
endif

opsi works, and it works very well if used correctly. thats all i want and need.

larsg: The problem is with ..Containing – string - substring:)

The solution: getSubListByMatch (<search string>, <target list>) :stringlist //since 4.12.0.14

Thank you, OPSI developers!
