IF WORD = TRUE then Stop

[theninjamanz 29]

Here's what I am trying to accomplish.

 

I set a word like "Musical dingbats" to a variable.

 

I run the script.

 

The script needs to check a text file and if the word "Musical Dingbats" is in the list it stops.

 

Else ADD TO "musical dingbats" to LIST.

 

Over time you get a text file that contains a list of words that are unique.

 

I want to use this to trigger whether a script is run or not.

 

In laymens terms:

If the project word has been used before don't run the report.

 

I don't know how to cycle through the list and check the keyword each time.

 

Is there a way to check a list without having to first load in somewhere. I tend to load stuff into Google and then just use a search page function, but there must be a better way!

Have you tried using the Contains command yet? Sounds like it's what you need. You would add the text file to a list and then compare the list items against the variable.
