I am try to compare more than one value to a string in my asp script ie.

<%
if strVar = "test" and strVar = "test2" and strVar = "test3" then
do some stuff
end if
%>

is there a shorter way of comparing different values to a variable?

not really, it's 3 different compares

You mean "or" don't you. The expression you have could be simplified to "if
false then" because it will never be true.

Try:

if Instr( ",test,test2,test3,", "," & strVar & ",") > 0 then
....

If you can be sure that strvar will never contain "," then you can simplify
to
If Instr(",test,test2,test3,", strVar) > 0 then
