not equal range

[anystupidassname]

This doesn't work...

If $var <> "1" OR "2" OR "3' Then
 Exit
EndIf

Why not and is there a cleaner way to do it anyway? Say something like this for example:

If $var <> ["1"-"3"] Then
 Exit
EndIf

I think like this

If $var <> "1" OR $var <> "2" OR $var <> "3' Then

If $var <= 3 Then
 Exit
EndIf

would that do?

[anystupidassname]

If $var <= 3 Then
 Exit
EndIf

would that do?

Heh, nice try, but the var could be anything and I want it to abort unless it is specifically 1, 2, or 3

Shibuya, your code would exit if $var contained 2.5, 0 or -2. However such circumstances may not arise (it depends on the code used to assign the value in the first place) and in that case, yours would be the simplest and best way to do this.

An alternative, but I don't consider it cleaner:

If StringInStr("1|2|3|", $var & "|") Then ...

Wait, shouldn't those OR's be AND's?

$var <> "1" AND $var <> "2" AND $var <> "3

equivalently:

Not ($var = 1 Or $var = 2 Or $var = 3)

Helpful as always. Thanks Slug! Thanks to the rest of you too.

Using OR instead of AND was my main problem.

Both:

If NOT $var <> "0" AND $var <> "1" AND $var <> "2" Then
    MsgBox(48, "Abort", "Something fubar!")
    Exit
EndIf

and:

If NOT StringInStr("0|1|2|", $var & "|") Then
    MsgBox(48, "Abort", "Something fubar!")
    Exit
EndIf

worked.

[Valuater]

arent these the same

For $var = -1 to 4
$var1 = $var

If NOT $var <> "0" AND $var <> "1" AND $var <> "2" Then
    MsgBox(48, "Abort 1" , "Something fubar! " & $var, 3)
EndIf

If $var1 < "0" Or $var1 > "2" Then
    MsgBox(48, "Abort 2" , "Something fubar! " & $var1, 3)
EndIf

Next

The first one looks like the long road to get there

They will both give the same result if you can guarantee that $var holds an integer before you call them.
