Is it somehow possible to create a construct like the following

Code:

If (var = 1) or (var = 3) or (var = 5)

That is possible, I've just tried it.
Example:

Code:

InputBox, var, Expressions, Value of 'var':, , , , , , , , 3
If (var = 1) or (var = 3)  or (var = 5)
   MsgBox, 'var' = %var%

And how is the correct syntax for that

Code:

If (var <> %var1%) or (var <> %var2%)
{}

is not working

Code:

If var <> %var1%
{}
If var <> %var2%
{}

is working.
In the seconed variant I always get the error that there are illigal characters in the variable name and it shows me the content of the variable???

Because everything inside the brackets in that syntax is treated as a variable - you don't want those % signs around the 2nd variable I suspect.

Within an expression everything which isn't a number and not tagged as a literal string, using ("") is treated as a variable.
AFAIK

Code:

var=0
var1=1
var2=2
If (var <> var1) or (var <> var2)
   MsgBox % Var is: 0

Should work.

Thank you for your help. You was right, it was my fault, I had changed something different in between, so it was not working.

You could use the if var in matchlist method:

Code:

if var in 1,3,5
   MsgBox The var is one, three, or five.

However, note that it compares the values as strings, not numbers. So 1.0 would not be the same as 1.
