Question

I want to be able to check if the string contains all the values held in the list;
So it will only give you a ‘correct answer’ if you have all the ‘key words’ from the list in your answer.
Heres something i tired which half fails;(Doesn’t check for all the arrays, will accept just one).
Code i tired:

 foreach (String s in KeyWords)
        {
            if (textBox1.Text.Contains(s))
            {
                correct += 1;
                MessageBox.Show("Correct!");
                LoadUp();
            }
            else
            {
                incorrect += 1;
                MessageBox.Show("Incorrect.");
                LoadUp();
            }
        }

Essentially what i want to do is:

Question: What is the definition of Psychology?

Key words in arraylist: study,mental process,behaviour,humans

Answer: Psychology is the study of mental process and behaviour of humans

Now if and ONLY if the answer above contains all key words will my code accept the answer.
I hope i have been clear with this.

Edit: Thank you all for your help. All answers have been voted up and i thank everyone for quick answers. I voted up the answer that can be easily adapted to any code. 🙂

Answer 1

Using LINQ:

// case insensitive check to eliminate user input case differences
var invariantText = textBox1.Text.ToUpperInvariant();
bool matches = KeyWords.All(kw => invariantText.Contains(kw.ToUpperInvariant()));
