How can I check if a value from an Array Contains any value from an other Array ?
For example:
string[] array1 = {"1726KB12","271","MB192"}
string[] array2 = {"KB","L1","C9"}
Those are the two arrays i'm using. I need to check if any value from array2 is contained in array1 (in this case, "KB" from array2 is contained in array1 but is not identical).
Is there a way to catch this?
Every other solutions that i could find only check if both values are identical.
You can use LINQ's .Any() function to return a boolean value indicating that array1 contains any value that is present in array2:
using System;
using System.Linq;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string[] array1 = {"1726KB12", "271", "MB192"};
string[] array2 = {"KB", "L1", "C9"};
bool containsValue = array1.Any(a1 => array2.Any(a2 => a1.Contains(a2)));
if (containsValue)
{
Console.WriteLine("At least one value from array2 is contained within array1.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("No value from array2 is contained within array1.");
}
}
}
