Can I use an OR operand in a compare statement?

[RGBreality]

Hey folks!

I am working on this little text search engine for my company's product documentation...

One thing I am trying to do with this search tool is to search against multiple (but specific) file extension types in one search query. Right now the search tool is set up to search against one file extension type ("*.html"). However, I would also like the search tool to search against the PDF file extension.

So, I was wondering... Is it possible to use OR operands in "Compare two general value" statements? In other words, I'd like to be able state:

"Search 'Extension Name' at the currently browsed path" is equal to "'Extension Name' from 'Edit Box A' OR 'Extension Name' from Edit Box B'".

Is there a way to write such a statement?

Thank you very much!

just make it all in the one event

"Search 'Extension Name' at the currently browsed path" is equal to "'Extension Name' from 'Edit Box A'

OR

"Search 'Extension Name' at the currently browsed path" is equal to "'Extension Name' from 'Edit Box B'

edit: to insert the OR right click the event and it should have an option

Ah, that worked like a charm, RhsD! And a cleaner solution than running two Fastloops. Thank you for your help!

And a cleaner solution than running two Fastloops.

What solution is this?

[RGBreality]

Putting two "compare value" statements into one conditional statement, separated by an OR operand.

This is instead of running two Fastloops that would require an additional Binary and Binary Quickload object (to perform the second search after the first was completed).
