Question

I have an array of strings

string[] tmp = foo();

If NONE of the strings in foo contain either “bar” or “baz” I want to execute some code.
Is this the proper way to query this object?

if(!tmp.Any(p => p.ToLower().Contains("bar") || p.ToLower().Contains("baz"))
 doSomething(); 

The || seems silly. Should I be using a regular expression here or is there an even better way to be doing this? ***Also note the values in tmp are like "bar=someValue" like a query string. This code works ok but I’m certain it can written better. Thanks for any tips of feedback.

Any better? I don’t know but should work.

if(!tmp.Select(x => x.Split('=')[0])
                    .Intersect(new[] { "foo", "baz" }, 
                               StringComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase).Any())
    doSomething();
