linesnotcontain( function

linesnotcontain(

LINES

VALUE

)

The linesnotcontain( function is the reverse of the linescontain( function.

Parameters

This function has two parameters:

lines – text with multiple lines, separated by carriage returns.

value – value to look for. For the function to return false, the value must exactly match one of the lines in the text, including upper and lower case.

Description

This function is the reverse of the linescontain( function.

linesnotcontain("a
    b
    c","x") ☞ -1 (true)
linesnotcontain("a
    b
    c","b") ☞ 0 (false)

Note: This function is equivalent to:

(not arraycontains(thelines,thevalue,cr()))
