Hello,

You can do an IF statement that checks whether the list contains the variable. This will expect an exact match.
Assuming your list is in %List% and your variable is in %NewVar%, you can paste the following code to PAD for the comparison:
IF Contains(List, NewVar, False) THEN #Do something here END

If you feel like I solved your problem, please mark my answer as the solution.

Thank you.

Thanks.
I am a total beginner. How do I paste the code? In PAD, I can drag and drop the If action but could not paste the code.

Copy the code from here and when you have your designer open, simply send Ctrl+V. It's that simple.
PAD accepts code written in this language (Robin) and converts that to actions. You can also do the opposite and copy the actions out of PAD to a text editor like Notepad to see the code behind it.
