match strings between delimiters

Hi I do have an irule that contains: if {$al_ctrl_parameter contains $switch_app_pool } switch_aap_pool could contain myURI_A1 or myURI al_ctrl_parameter could contain TEST=myURI_A1,myURI,...

Check out 'split' and 'lsearch' commands. https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/irules-101-15-tcl-list-handling-commands

if { [lsearch [split $al_ctrl_parameter ,] $switch_app_pool] } then {
   do something
}

If you want to exact string matches add the -exact parameter to lsearch otherwise it'll match partial strings

My bad, it should be: ~~~ if { [lsearch -exact [split $al_ctrl_parameter ,] $switch_app_pool] >= 0 } then { do something } ~~~
