Is there a simple way only output if variable in in a comma separated list?

Question

This is my code. What I want to do is only show STAXCODE if the state is in this list. AL,FL,CO

<% @ship_states.each do |state| %>
  <%= state.STAXCODE %>
<% end %>

try,

<% @ship_states.each do |state| %>
  <%= ['AL', 'FL', 'CO'].include?(state.STAXCODE) ? state.STAXCODE : nil  %>
<% end %>

UPDATE: Your code did work. I found that the state codes in the database have a trailing space after each so 'FL' is actually 'FL '. Is there a good way to deal with that? Thanks in advance

Sure, state.STAXCODE.strip should get rid of those spaces for you
