multiple IF

[m4st3r]

Hello

im working on a script, and i want to know if i can use list or something in IF cmd .. Example:
For the moment i use something like this:

Code: Select all

if {[string match *test* $checkname] == 0 && [string match *roger* $checkname] == 0 && [string match *mary* $checkname] == 0 && [string match *merlin* $checkname] == 0 && [string match *polly* $checkname] == 0 && [string match *mandie* $checkname] == 0 } { 

but i have ALOT of IF like this ... i want to know i i can use something like a "list" like:

Code: Select all

list = "*test*,*roger*,*mary*, ..... "
if {$checkname match $list ) { ....

Thanks

Yes.

Code: Select all

set nicknames "name1 name2 name3 name4"

if {[lsearch -exact $nicknames $checkname] != -1} {
     # named matched
} else {
     # not matched
}

Or use lsearch -glob for matching wildcards

if {[lsearch -glob $nicknames *$checkname*] != -1} {
     # etc
}

Also, since string match will only return 1 or 0, you can simply use

Code: Select all

if {![string match *test* $checkname] && ![string match *roger* $checkname] && ![string match *mary* $checkname] && ![string match *merlin* $checkname] && ![string match *polly* $checkname] && ![string match *mandie* $checkname]} {

Or use lsearch -glob for matching wildcards

His wildcards are in the list, not in the part matched against the list...
Something like this might do what he wants:

Code: Select all

switch -glob -- $checkname {
	*test* -
	*roger* -
	*mary* -
	*merlin* -
	*polly* -
	*mandie* {
		# match
	}
	default {
		# no match
	}
}
