Search string in array

Hello everyone,

I've been working around this for to long.

I have this code to search for a specific string from an array.

This array gets its values from a txt file:
Each word in the txt file is separated by a new line;

Code (CSharp):

1. public InputField enterNameField;
2. public TextAsset badWordsFile;
3. string[] badwords = badWordsFile.text.Split('\n');

With that a creat a string named "WordToSearch", that is the text fomr the inputfield

Code (CSharp):

1. string wordToSearch = enterNameField.text;

Code (CSharp):

1. if (badwords.Any(wordToSearch.ToLower().Contains))
2.         {
3.             print("Word Found:  " + wordToSearch);
4.  
5.         }
6.         else
7.         {
8.             print("No word found");
9.  
10.         }

The issue is that this returns true all the time, no matter what is in the inputflied.

I already tried

Code (CSharp):

1. if (badwords.Contains(wordToSearch))

Code (CSharp):

1. badwords.All(wordToSearch.ToLower()

but noting seems to work.

Can anyone help me identify the issue here?

Thank you

 

array.Any and array.All take a LINQ Predicate as input, which you're not doing. Either use a Predicate or just loop through the array the old fashioned way. (Google how to write a LINQ Predicate for more info)

Code (csharp):

1. bool naughtyWord = false;
2. foreach (string word in badwords)
3. {
4.     if (word == wordToSearch.ToLower())
5.     {
6.         naughtyWord = true;
7.     }
8. }

 

thank you for the reply, gonna check how linq work, better learn it from the ground.

regards
