if Var in MatchList not working with array

[dsewq1LYJ]

Codes explain anything.

Ref:
https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/IfIn.htm

Code: Select all

ABC := ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
A := "foo"
if A in %ABC%
{
    Tooltip % "foo - " 
}
; OR
if A in ABC
{
    Tooltip % "foo - " 
}
; BUT
if A in foo,bar,baz
{
    Tooltip % "foo - " 
}

Code: Select all

if Var in MatchList
if Var not in MatchList

if Var contains MatchList
if Var not contains MatchList

documentation says about MatchList:

A comma-separated list of strings

and also:

The operators "between", "is", "in", and "contains" are not supported in expressions.

Code: Select all

x := "bar"
var := "foo," . x . ",baz"

if x in %var%
{
    Tooltip % "foo - " 
}

EDIT:
Here two solutions using arrays:

Code: Select all

A := {"foo": 1,"bar": 2, "baz": 3}

if (A.HasKey("bar"))
{
    Tooltip % "foo - " 
}

or:

Code: Select all

Loop % (A:=["foo", "bar", "baz"]).MaxIndex()
{
if (A[a_index] == "bar")
{
MsgBox, test
}
}

And if that's not enough possible solutions, you could also use a for-loop.
