Are Simpler "if" Statements Possible?

Right now I'm juggling a lot of strings and it is getting unweildy. This keeps happening:

if (str == "option1" || str == "option2" || str == "option3" || str == "option4" || str == "option5" || str == "option6" || str == "option7" || str == "option8" str == "option9" str == "option10" str == "option8" str == "option11") {
     // Do something.
} 

Is there a more efficient syntax? By "efficient" I really mean "better looking".

Thanks.

llListFindList() might be what you want then although I, personally, don't see anything wrong with what you have if it's reformatted a bit:

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        string str = "option1";
        
        //one way
        if (str == "option1" ||
            str == "option2" ||
            str == "option3" ||
            str == "option4" ||
            str == "option5" ||
            str == "option6" ||
            str == "option7" ||
            str == "option8" ||
            str == "option9" || 
            str == "option10")
        {
            llOwnerSay("Item found");
        }
        
        //another way
        list values = ["option1", "option2", "option3", "option4", "option5",
                       "option6", "option7", "option8", "option9", "option10"];
        
        if (llListFindList(values, [str]) >= 0)
        {
            llOwnerSay("Item found again");
        }
    }
}

Thanks, that's very helpful.

Depending on your list of options and what you can do you can code them smartly.

It might not work for your situation - but imagine you're using a dialog box. That can take 24 characters, but only displays 8/9 as we all know. So you put your option1, option2 etc. into the first 8 characters, then (say) two spaces, then a 'tag' - say "tag".

So you'd actually have "option1 tag", "option2 tag" etc.

Then your if statement can be a wee bit harder but something like:

if(llGetSubString(msg, -5, -1)=="  tag"))
