Question

Say for example I have a list as follows:

List<string> myList = new List<string>();

which contains:

item1
item 2
testing 123

How could I say:

"where list item contains the value "123" return that item in full"

hence the output result would be:

testing 123

Answer 1

string s = myList.Where(p => p.Contains("123")).SingleOrDefault();

or

string s = myList.SingleOrDefault(p => p.Contains("123"));
