compairing a string to multiple strings

This is what I need to accomplish in seudocode

if (string != "this" or "that" or "this" or "that")

{

}

Id do it with 12 different or statements

if(string !="this" || string !="that" || ...etc){}

but Im wondering if there is a cleaner way to go about this.

just as a clarification, I need to compair it to 12 different strings, thats why I mentioned doing it with 12 different statements.

String bla = "String4";

String[] checks = { "String1", "String2", "String3", ... };

boolean match = false;

for (int i = 0; i < checks.length; i++) {

if (checks[i].equals(bla)) {

match = true;

break;

}

if (match) {

}

Also, never use == or != to compare strings; use the equals() method instead.
