Actually these names of folders

i have a menu script and i wish to avoid certain files and certain
folders from being displayed in the script

so for comparision we take them as pure names nothing else

no binary comparisons

since i presume the number of files or folders to be ignored will be
huge, i wish to avoid multiple AND


and put <> (comp1, comp2, comp3, comp4)

this is what i wish to find out

Assuming you have the list of files stored in an array, you could loop
through them and set a Boolean flag if the name is found.

'Create a demo list in MyArray
Dim MyArray(2)
MyArray(0) = "zero"
MyArray(1) = "one"
MyArray(2) = "two"

name = "foo" 'Name to find

found = false 'initialize flag

For i = Lbound(MyArray) To Ubound(MyArray)
If Ucase(name) = Ucase(MyArray(i)) Then
found = true 'item was found so toggle flag
Exit For 'and abort the search
End If
Next

If found Then 'report status
msgbox name & " was found in list.",,"Found"
Else
msgbox name & " was NOT found in list.",,"NOT Found"
End If
