Question

Is there a more concise way of structuring the following if statement?

if self.itemsize.downcase.include? "a3" or 
   self.itemsize.downcase.include? "a4" or 
   self.itemsize.downcase.include? "a5" or 
   self.itemsize.downcase.include? "dl" 

  puts "yadda yadda"

end

Perhaps with an array? eg if self.itemsize.downcase.include? ["a3", "a4", "a5", "dl"]

Answer 1

Solution with a regular expression:

if self.itemsize =~ /(a3|a4|a5|dl)/i
#if self.itemsize =~ /\A(a3|a4|a5|dl)\Z/i
  puts "yadda yadda"

end
