IList.stringInList

Looks for a string within this list.

Syntax

public boolean 
stringInList(String item)

Parameters

item

String to search for in list

Description

The stringInList method looks for a string within a list.

For one-column lists, it can be implemented to determine whether a given value is in any row. This method only works on StringList and FileList objects.

Returns

Returns true if string is in list. Returns false if the string is not in the list, or if an IList implementation does not support this method.

Example

IList listA = ics.GetList("myList");
boolean inList = listA.stringInList("this string");
if (!inList)
{
   //the string you supplied is not in the list
   //or the IList implementation does not support this method.
}
