coldfusion if - how to look for several items in an IF

I have an if structure as follows:

<cfif #user.personnel_no# is 'xxxxx' or #user.personnel_no# is 'xxxxx' or #user.personnel_no# is 'xxxxx'>
---data
</cfif>

how can I do something like:

<cfif #user.personnel_no# in ('xxxxx','yyyyy','zzzzz')>
---data
</cfif>

to look among all values in if?

or declaring a list and do something like

list = 'xxxxx','yyyyy','zzzzz'

<cfif #user.personnel_no# in list>
    ---data
</cfif>

Thank you.

Solution 
  • <cfscript>
user.personnel_no = 'yyyyy' 

asArray = ['xxxxx','yyyyy','zzzzz']
writeOutput(asArray.find(user.personnel_no)) // 2


asList = 'xxxxx,yyyyy,zzzzz'
writeOutput(asList.listfind(user.personnel_no)) // 2

</cfscript>
