Question

So right now I’m using this simple method to check a string for another string:

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(toSearch, toVerifyisPresent, System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)

Now, its working fine for the most part. But my biggest issue is that if I try to search for something like “areyou+present”, if “areyou+present” IS there, it will still come back false. I’m thinking its because of the “+” in the string.

What can I do to work around this?

Answer 1

Based on the comment above by Oded.

toSearch.toLowerCase().Contains(toVerifyIsPresent.toLowerCase())

Converting both to lowercase will provide the same functionality as using IgnoreCase
