Looking through a long list of values w/o IF ORs
Hello and how is it? I am looking for just the quickest way to do a big list of conditions. I have to do something in my code based on if a field could have a set of 50 or so values. I am not sure, but I do not not think a bunch of IF || ..... statements is the quickest way to process my code. What would be the quickest way to look through this long list of values for a single match? thanks

Give us an example of a couple of things that you might do
ASKER
Sure thing:
PA,PF,PC,PQ,PP,PV,PR,PB,PO
BA,BD,BC,BE,BH,BO,BN,BP, DS,GR,GC,GD,GM,GP,GN,GO,GP
Here would be a lilst to find a match of one of those values.
PA,PF,PC,PQ,PP,PV,PR,PB,PO
BA,BD,BC,BE,BH,BO,BN,BP, DS,GR,GC,GD,GM,GP,GN,GO,GP
Here would be a lilst to find a match of one of those values.
So you want to check if GD for example is in the list?

Well either one could be being passed in the string, but yeah GD would be an example. Bud could be DS or PQ, or ....... I am sorry if I am not making sense.

I'm talking about what you would do *after* finding it. Finding it would be easy:
List<String> strings = .....
if (strings.contains("GD")) {
....
}
but that won't get rid of ifs
List<String> strings = .....
if (strings.contains("GD")) {
....
}
but that won't get rid of ifs
have you used case in java, its quite simple to do the task you need if you use the case statement.

Sorry good question CEHJ, If a value is found send string out of a pipe as one format, if not found then send string out as another format.
