Is there a way, that if I get a list of values like so:

 $overwrite = get("selecteditemsnames", "<crlf>");

And it returns the values for $overwrite as:
1.txt
2.txt
3.txt

That I can compare a variable with a single value to the list of values in $overwrite, and if it matches any of the values in $overwrite, than it performs the action, perhaps like so (though I cannot get it to work)?

Code: Select all

 $file = 2.txt;
 if (regexmatches($file, $overwrite, <crlf>)) {
    $contents = Action: OVERWRITE;
 }

Sure

but

1. Trying to match a list with a single item is wrong, it's the other way round
2. Your regexmatches() would not work anyway because the single item needs to be escaped before

Code: Select all

function IsIn($listOfVariables, $variable) {
    $esc = regexreplace($variable, "([\\.+(){\[^$])", "\$1" . "$");
    if (regexmatches($listOfVariables, $esc)) { return true; }
    return false;
}

or using gettokenindex() could be used for this (but only for full matches^^) as well...
