[showif] -- multiple not-contains is a little beyond its scope at the moment. But you can use a little math trick to do the same thing:
[math]totalFound=0[/math][showif [var]^A]
[math]totalFound=totalFound+1[/math][/showif] [showif [var]^B]
[math]totalFound=totalFound+1[/math][/showif] [showif [var]^C]
[math]totalFound=totalFound+1[/math][/showif] [showif [var]^X]
[math]totalFound=totalFound+1[/math][/showif] [showif [var]^Y]
[math]totalFound=totalFound+1[/math][/showif][showif
[math]totalFound[/math]!0] [var] contains at leat one of A,B,C,X,Y [/showif]Basically this increments a variable every time something is found. You may have to change the logic for your needs, perhaps using
[hideif] instead.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
