Thanks for that, Ed. Again, I appreciate that you're opening yourself to some
ridicule for defending my "style". :-)
You know, I had a debate about this with someone recently on another list. He
felt I was an arrogant windbag. I replied that many people seemed to appreciate

Sure, an IN clause would work, if the tests were for exact matches. I
suspected that the user-agents being tested were long and the words within
them to be tested were a subset. That's what makes it a challenge. Of
course, then one could argue that a SQL LIKE clause might work, but of

It might seem Clint is joking, but while I have no experience in mind from him

I was thinking about this... you could create a temp query and use an IN
clause (with a QoQ). Would be a lot cleaner than this...

Long as we're off topic..
- No time for long emails
- More than meat of the matter is fat
- I love bullet points
Sentences and paragraphs are so old school. We don't need no
stinkin grammar neither.

I also favor using as many words as necessary to communicate clearly.
There really is no reason to compromise clarity for brevity's sake. My
keyboard produces just as many words as I need, neither more nor less.

Sadly, you and I are a dying breed, it seems. :-) There's a definite subset
of the culture who decidedly do NOT like any email longer than a couple of
sentences-even if it means sacrificing clarity for brevity.
Twitter has only exacerbated the problem by catering to that whim. It's
clearly a cult
Well, don't stop. I prefer content over confusion (short).

As Cam has noted, the problem with this function is that it does only an exact
match. That’s why I created the function I provided, to solve just this problem
(and I do wish Adobe would add something like it themselves). But I appreciate
others noting that you could also solve this specific prob

Just to clarify... .htaccess can also redirect and not just block content.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
It could be used to block or just redirect bad guys to a logging page,
suspected bad guys to a limited site index and all others to your
regular site.
That's all.

This will only work if the entire exact case-less user agent matches an item
in the list. I don't think it will solve Derr
First, I like Charlie's function, its simple and it looks like it
would work well.
However, if you are looking for alternatives, you can always use a
regular _expression_.
There is plenty of information on regular expressions all over the
web if y
Depending on how long the list grows, you might see some performance
benefits in splitting your list so that you only search a subset of the
whole list each time. Maybe something like a list of names that contain
the letters "bot", other lists for names containing the word "spider" or
"crawler"
Aggh. Of course!!!
Why didn't I think of that? I seem to constantly forget about listFindNoCase.
Thank you! Simplicity is best IMO.
