MyChat Scripts Engine: IsStringInList

Searching a substring in a string list that has delimiters between its elements.

 

Syntax

function IsStringInList(sWhat, sStringList, sDelimiter: string; bIgnoreCase: boolean): boolean;

 

Parameters and return values

Parameter

Type

Value

sWhat

string

substring that you need to find;

sStringList

string

source string for searching;

bIgnoreCase

boolean

true — ignore the letter case, false — the difference between letters case does not matter.

 

Most MSL functions, which return a text string with a list of elements, have the "|" symbol as the delimiter. However, you can use any delimiters both from one or several symbols.

 

Function result

True, if the specified element exists in the source string between delimiters.

 

Example

const
  sFirst  = 'Blue|Red|Green|';
  sSecond = 'John Carpenter,Ivan Dulin,Sara Connor';
begin
  mLogScript('Original string "' + sFirst + '"', '');
  
    if IsStringInList('red', sFirst, '|', true) then mLogScript('"red" found', '')
      else mLogScript('"red" not found', '');
  
    mLogScript('Original string "' + sSecond + '", case sensitive search', '');
  
    if IsStringInList('sara connor', sSecond, ',', false) then mLogScript('"sara connor" found', '')
      else mLogScript('"sara connor" not found', '');
end.

Script work result

[16:08:24] (Log "IsStringInList"): Original string "Blue|Red|Green|"

[16:08:24] (Log "IsStringInList"): "red" found

[16:08:24] (Log "IsStringInList"): Original string "John Carpenter,Ivan Dulin,Sara Connor", case sensitive search
