I'm reading a file and part of the file is a string, call it
'mystring', which I need to validate and make sure it equals one of
the strings in an array. This is a shortened sample of the array with
valid strings.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i Var
vartypearr:array[] of string = ('Integer', 'Long', 'String', 'Char'); 
Is there an easy way to find if 'mystring' is in the array vartypearr?

Thank you.

AnsiIndexStr or AnsiIndexText perhaps ?

Copy/paste error on AnsiIndexText-page.
QuoteAnsiIndexStr matches AText against each string in AValues.
Not sure who handles those or how they are generated.

@rvk:
i had to read several times before i spotted what you meant (even
though you highlighted). 

It is the same thing as read vs readln 

Under normal circumstances and as a reminder for maintainers it is
usually advised to be reported as a bug on mantis.
