if loop syntax error

Question

Is the following syntax right in Python?

(if 'SU' in line or 'AU' in line or 'VU' in line or 'rf' in line and line.find('/*') == -1) and (BUILDROOT in line):
    lineMatch = False

What is the result of running your code? The exception you get should tell you its not correct. — Ber

Try this:

if any(x in line for x in ('SU', 'AU', 'VU', 'rf')) and '/*' not in line and BUILDROOT in line:
    lineMatch = False

No, the if should not be inside the brackets.
