Search a string using an array?

[BlackHoleSun 1]

Is there a function to search within a string with values from an array? I want to take the computer model of a computer (i.e. "Computer Model 1234") and go through a list of possibles (i.e. "1234|2345|3456") and see if there was a match, and if so, what was matched. I don't think I can use StringInStr or _ArraySearch.

You can use StringRegExp.

Try this:

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $_StringArray[10] = [ 9, 'string1', 'string2', 'string3', 'string4', 'string5', 'string6', 'string7', 'string8', 'string9' ]
ConsoleWrite ( "ArrayItem Index : " & _IsArrayItemInString ( $_StringArray, "string4" ) & @Crlf )

Func _IsArrayItemInString ( $_Array, $_Item )
    For $_A = 1 To UBound ( $_Array ) - 1
        If $_Array[$_A] <> '' And $_Array[$_A] = $_Item Then Return $_A
    Next
    Return False
EndFunc ;==> _IsArrayItemInString ( )

Adjust script like you want...

That worked. I didn't get it at first because I was trying to use just the model number instead of the whole computer name, but it seems to be working now. Thanks!

You can also, do a partial search with stringinstr by changing this line.

If $_Array[$_A] <> '' And StringInStr ( $_Item, $_Array[$_A] ) <> 0 Then Return $_A

That works even better. Thank you
