RE: How does the "among" operator work? (Never mind!)
My apologies to the list. As they say, RTFM (or online Help). I just
realized on reading farther down in the Help page on which the
operators are described that the answer was there all along. Now I
get it.
For example:
put "Fred" is among the items of "Adam,Fred,George"
returns true, as does:
put "Fred" is among the words of "Adam Fred George"
MetaCard is tres cool!

David

You have to specify a chunk type:
if "Fred" is among the items of "Adam,Fred,George" then doSomething

How does the "among" operator work?
Here's a simple operator syntax question. The list of operators shows
"is among" and "is not among" as Order 7 operators, along with
"contains". I had assumed that usage would be something like:
if "Fred" is among ("Adam","Fred","George") then doSomething
But this doesn't work. What is the correct syntax?
Regards,
David
