Another problem with if statement with logical operators

I posted a topic yesterday about using the syntax for an if statement ub=sing Contains and a logical operator.

Now I have a similar problem but am getting a syntax error

My first operand is

%DoesNotContain(SelectedDocTitle[0], 'original petition', True) OR DoesNotContain(SelectedDocTitle[0], 'exhibit', True)%

I don't know the proper syntax for Does Not Contain

If that is not possible I guess I can use the Contains approach and reverse my loop logic

Try using NotContains instead of DoesNotContain.

If you are unsure about the syntax you can define it in an if statement and copy it into your clipboard. The text will show it then.

[List of available 8 functions]
Contains(VAR, 'KEY', False)
NotContains(VAR, 'KEY', False)
IsEmpty(VAR)
IsNotEmpty(VAR)
StartsWith(VAR, 'KEY', False)
NotStartsWith(VAR, 'KEY', False)
EndsWith(VAR, 'KEY', False)
NotEndsWith(VAR, 'KEY', False)
The third parameter is for Ignore Case (false = “ Case sensitive“)

Gidi. Thank you for the list of functions. I don't understand what you mean by copying to clipboard

What Gidi meant is that if you built a simple If statement using the operand you want, and copied the entire action to a text editor, you would see the syntax and would be able to mimick that.
