hi monks!
i want to simplify the step of : if a words is not match in the word array , then do something and add into list box
mm... i try to do that in the following way, but i think it is not a good to do that ,
is there any quicker method to do that?? Thx 
sub addfor{
my ($mainwidget,$entryVariable) = @_;
my $ex='false';
foreach  (@history) {
    if ($_ eq $entryVariable ) {
         $mainwidget->messageBox('-icon' => 'error', -type => 'OK',
         -title => 'Error for input',-message=>"duplicate input");
         $ex= 'true';
    }
}
if ($ex eq 'false'){
$widget{'forwardlistbox'}->insert('end', $entryVariable);    
push (@history, $entryVariable);
}


}
