Variable Contains

Descriptions

Checks if the given variable contains a certain value.

• For String variables, is it checked if the variable contains a substring. Based on the compareType used, it can also be checked if the variable "starts with" or "ends with" the given value.
• For List or Set variables
  • If the value is a simple string, it is checked if the List or Set contains the value
  • If the entry is another List or Set, it is checked if the variable contains all or any of the elements of the value, based on the compareType.

Attributes

CompareType attribute

If the variable is a String, you can use either the STARTS_WITH or ENDS_WITH to check if the variable starts with or ends with the given value

If the variable is a List or Set and the value is also a List or Set, you can use ALL to check if all elements of the value are present in the variable, or ANY to check if at least one element is present

EXACT_ENTRY (aliases EXACTENTRY, EE) checks whether the value exactly matches one of the variable's comma-separated entries. Both the entries and the value are whitespace-trimmed before comparing, so a String variable holding apple, banana matches banana. The value is treated as a single entry: a comma-separated value like apple,banana is compared whole and will not match, use ALL or ANY for multiple entries. For String variables this differs from the default, which checks for a substring rather than a full entry

Examples

  Conditions:
  - variablecontains{var=skill.examplelist;val=hello}

  - variablecontains{var=skill.examplelist;val=hello,world;compareType=ANY}

  - variablecontains{var=skill.examplestring;val=pizza}

  - variablecontains{var=skill.examplestring;val=dungeon_;compareType=STARTS_WITH}

  - variablecontains{var=skill.examplestring;val=pizza;compareType=EXACT_ENTRY}
