st: Is there a way to tell if a local macro contains a particular value

[Max.Livingston@ny.frb.org]

Hi all,

Say I have a local macro with a list of variable names: local myvars var1 
var3 var5.

Now say I'm iterating over all my variables (var1-var6), and want to do 
something if the variable is in `myvars.' Is there a simple way to 
determine this?

Thanks,
Max
