[Variable] = [value] "this" OR [value] "that"

I want to check in a single Event condition if a text/string variable has either of two possible values. In a similar way that you can set a value like "This text " & "this text " & "will be set to a variable.", where the & serves as a kind of "link" (I don't know the tech geek term) to all the values wanting to be equally stored to the variable.

However, what if I want to check if EITHER of the values are already in the variable?

Similar to how we can make an Event block an OR block, is there a cousin to the & that functions as a sort of Boolean for a single variable test comparison (condition)?

+ System | Variable = "This" OR "That"

So the condition would be satisfied if either "This" or "That" was the Variable value. If such an option exists, what symbol do I use?

Maybe this will help You.

You can emulate a logical OR with a function. As pictured here.

A simple reversal of the logic could also emulate a logical AND... but it's quite useless considering Construct already does that ! <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

edit: Oh, I almost forgot... just call this function in a condition like so : System -> Compare two value

1st value = Function.Call("OR", statement1, statement2...)

2nd value = 1

shinkan - Yup! That'll work! Thank you, sir!

Magistross - That...kinda makes sense. I am not yet versed in using the Function events, so I'm going to have to study up on those. But from the looks of things, it may make my condition checking a lot more refined. Thank you, too! I'll check into it.

Here's a simple yet working example to help you understand how it could work.

Magistross - Thank you, sir! I'll check it out later on (gots me a job interview to prepare for :) ).

it's very useful for working on sitelock, thanks Magistross!

Could you use the or operator for this?

So in your case this would become:

System compare two values: Variable="This" | Variable="That" = 1

Or Operator html example

(use left and right arrow keys to change the number)

Or operator capx
