I have to agree with Sarah. I often want to see if a string doesn't contain another string.

Yes, I know the alternatives, it's just that as we were discussing the
limitations of Transcript's Englishness, I thought I would mention one

You could use:

if "fred" is not in myVar then...

hide field "xxx"    and
if field "xxx" is hidden



The one that always irks me is "contains" and it's opposite.
   if myVar contains "fred"
This is simple and obvious, but there isn't an easy way to reverse it,
so you have to use:
   if myVar contains "fred" is false

where I always feel you should be able to use something like:
   if myVar does not contain "fred"
