Dunno if this is the right forum, sorry in advance if it is wrong....

How do I use the $or function? I want to have like this:

If the playlist name is x or y or a...do this, of not....do that.

But I can't get the $or-function to work....how do I use it?

CODE

$if($or($strcmp(%_playlist_name%,x),$strcmp(%_playlist_name%,y),$strcmp(%_playlist_name%,a)),do this,do that)

The general syntax of the $or() command should look like this

CODE

$if($or(w,x),y,z)

Meaning if either w or x are true it will execute y otherwise z.

In case you want to expand your string by several $or() commands you need something like this

CODE

$if($or($or(v,w),x),y,z)

Hmh and no the development forum probably wasn't the right place to post this. Please read the notice here about what the development forum is meant for

Actually, you can just use

CODE

$if($or(a,b,c),then,else)

Like $and and $xor, $or can take an arbitrary number of arguments.
