Just wanted to know if there is any way to simplify an expression of this kind:

<xsl:if test="'LS1' = $fras or 'LS2' = $fras or 'LS3' = $fras or 'LS4' = $fras or 'LS5' = $fras or 'LS6' = $fras or 'LSO' = $fras">

In some parts of my application Im going to need to compare more than 20 strings so I would be happy if someone could tell me if there is any way to make this kind of expressions simpler.

Thanks for the help

Tomi.

In 2.0 you can do

test="$fras = ('LS1', 'LS2', 'LS3'...)"

Alternatively put the strings into an XML document

<lookup>
 <v>LS1</v>
 <v>LS2</v>
 <v>LS3</v>
  ...

and do test="$fras = $lookup/lookup/v".
