Using various methods, I can get a list of VLAN on a switch port. The list looks like the following: “vlans”: “1,134,170,175,540,605,819-820,911-912, **930-932** ,945,952,955,959-960,1200-1201,1400” I would like to check to see if VLAN 931 is in the list. In this case its between 930-932 in the list. Is there a filter or function that I can use to see if its in the list? Is there some other way I can get this info? For a single VLAN number I can use when: 'item in vlans" if in a loop but 'in" looks for exact match. ---

I would first convert entries like 930-932 into 930,931,932. ---

You can create a "real" list of all the vlans that this range-list contains. Once that is done it's trivial to do your check:
