Not Equal to check

[Algon]

I am not sure if there is anything like this out there, my searching through the lessons have not found anything like it. But is there any kind of command that would allow for a check if something is not equal to something?
Example...

Code: Select all

>intercept_prog kill~
if questr(0,0,3,$n) /= 1
  do so and so

This would allow for the builder to only have to use one check instead of...

Code: Select all

>intercept_prog kill~
if questr(0,0,3,$n) == 2
or questr(0,0,3$n) ==3
or questr(0,0,3$n) ==4
etc...

Assuming that the 'or" function works with qbits, not sure. But, I digress.
This would make things so much easier when trying to check for something like checking for a specific thing.
Another example...

Code: Select all

>greet_prog 100~
if class /= wizard
mpechoat $n "Go Away! 

I know you could accomplish this same thing with the else command, but this would be a much shorter way of going about things.

As I said before, I am not sure if this would even be plausible. But, I thought I would share the idea.
Thanks!

I'm no builder here, but I know a lot of codebases support != as 'does not equal.' Could try that out.

Yes, Xyron's correct in this case. You can use != or, as you said, else. In many cases it is six in one hand and a half dozen in the other.

e.g.

Code: Select all

>greet_prog 100~
if class($n) != warrior
  sayto $n This guild is only for warriors!
else
  sayto $n Hi
endif
~

or

Code: Select all

>greet_prog 100~
if class($n) == warrior
  sayto $n Hi
else
  sayto $n This guild is only for warriors!
endif
~

Perfect! That is exactly what I was needing. Thank you both!
