Would this be possible?

I've been trying different variations on this and couldn't get them to work, so I'm missing something. The main thing is that you don't need two if statements since they are a true-false of each other as it is and it is shorter and easier to do #IF (condition) {actions if condition true} {actions if condition false}. The issue seems to be either in the condition operator, the use of quotation marks, or the OR operator.

Yup...it was the use of the OR operator. The way you have is it not programatically the same as saying "If the number is this or this or that". Computer need it more like "If the number is this, or the number is that, or the number is that."

Also, don't know why you are using #SHOWME. You just trying to use #SHOW there?

anyhow #if ( %1 = "one" | %1 = "two" | %1 = "three") {#show Ding!!} {#show Please enter either -one, two, or three-. Thank you.} should work

#ALIAS test {#if (%ismember( %1, {one|two|three}) = 0) {#say Please enter either -one, two, or three-. Thank you.} {#say Ding!!}}

You don't need to do the #if twice, since a normal if statement is
#if (test) {then} {else}

Edit: Darn, was beaten to it ;)

Yeah, the SHOWME was meant as SHOW, just using it as an example. How about this?

I completely forgot about %ismember.

That should work shaun.murray

Hhmmmmmm.... Well, cool! I think that configuring a variable and letting the alias to the check on the variable might be the best way to go! Thanks for everyone's help!!!!! *cheers*
