if you want it cleaner, you can use AnsiIndexText<br />
<br />
eg<br />

<pre><code id="code-8153108">if AnsiIndexText(lowercase(yourstring), ['.bmp', '.jpg']) &gt;= 0 then
     //your stuff</code></pre>
</div>

eg


if AnsiIndexText(lowercase(yourstring), ['.bmp', '.jpg']) >= 0 then
     //your stuff

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to use a line like<br />
&quot;if string = '.bmp' or '.jpg' then<br />
but I get<br />
[DCC Warning] MAIN.PAS(376): W1058 Implicit string cast with potential data loss from 'string' to 'ShortString'<br />
<br />
It also doesn't seem to work if I type<br />
&quot;if string = 'bmp' or if string = '.jpg' &quot;then<br />
<br />
how can I write this ?
