Question

Basically i have a string list as such:

/forum/
/phpld/
/php/

Now i want to check if any of the url:
http://www.url.com/forum/

contains any values from the string list.

In the above case it should match because /forum/ is in the url.

I was thinking something like this:

foreach (string filter in _filterList)
{
    if (PAGEURL.Trim().Contains(filter.Trim()))
    {
        _parseResultsFinal.Add(PAGEURL);
        filteredByURL++;
        break;
    }
}

But i cannot get the above to be accurate
How would i do this? 🙂

Answer 1

Try this:

_filterList.Any(filter => PAGEURL.Trim().Contains(filter.Trim()));

You may do PAGEURL = PAGEURL.Trim() before this expression to not run it each time.
