Old fashion way search array

[Ahile07]

Hello guys. Again a dummy question for smart people.

I'm wondering if any of you can help me with an issue. I've got a list of names that i would like to store into an array variable. Example $names = [name1][name2][name3]

Then i've got an inputbox that asks for your name. I don't know how i can be able to see if the inputbox value is different then the names. I've done already separate if statements if the values are = with the names. But i want to check for error in case the value of the inputbox is different then my list of names.

Hope it makes sense.

Thank you

#include <Array.au3>

Local $names[3] = ["name 1", "name 2", "name 3"]

$sValue = InputBox("", "")

If _ArraySearch($names, $sValue) Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Wrong Name ! ")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "", "$sValue = " & $sValue)
EndIf

 

Never mind, this didn't work as expected...

here we go...this one works:

#include <Array.au3>

Local $names[3] = ["name 1", "name 2", "name 3"]

$sValue = InputBox("", "")

If _ArraySearch($names, $sValue) = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Wrong Name ! ")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "", "$sValue = " & $sValue)
EndIf
