What is the best way to check a column for multiple patterns and return for any matches? Here is what I have:

Code:

program:

omnibus =
	if 
		'Box Set' in $title
		|| 'Complete Series' in $title
		|| '(Books|Volumes) (\d+-\d+)' in $title
	then
		'omnibus'
	else
		''
	fi;

list_union(omnibus, $#admintags, ',')

This is for use in an Action Chain. It adds 'omnibus' to #admintags if the title indicates it's one.
