I am trying to compare a string to see if it contains a curse word. I assumed that I could do this using str.Contains("" || "") although I quickly realized I cannot use || with two strings. What would I use in place of this?
str.Contains("123" || "abc");
I expected it to see if it contains 123 or abc but the code segment does not work as it cannot compare two strings.
var str = "testabc123";
var str2 = "helloworld";
var bannedWords = new List<string>
{
"test",
"ok",
"123"
};
var res = bannedWords.Any(x => str.Contains(x)); //true
var res2 = bannedWords.Any(x => str2.Contains(x)); //false
You can do something like this. Create a list with the swear words, then you can check if the string contains any word in the list.
Try -
var array = new List<String>() {"123", "abc"};
var found = array.Contains("abc");
Console.WriteLine("Contains: {0}", found);
Try the following approach
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Program
{
private static final List<String> curseWords = new List<String>() {"123", "abc"};
public static void Main()
{
String input = "text to be checked with word abc";
if(isContainCurseWord(input)){
Console.WriteLine("Input Contains atlease one curse word");
}else{
Console.WriteLine("input does not contain any curse words")
}
}
public static bool isContainCurseWord(String text){
for(String curse in curseWords){
if(text.Contains(curse)){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
Try -
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
var input = "some random string with abc and 123";
var words = new List<String>() {"123", "abc"};
var foundAll = words.Any(word => input.Contains(word));
Console.WriteLine("Contains: {0}", foundAll);
}
}
str.Contains("123") || str.Contains("abc");?str.Contains("123" ) || str.Contains("abc" )
