@suva Can you explain a bit on what use case you want to use ContainsAny?

3

ContainsAny is not available as it is specific for collectionutils. But I’m not sure about it @SuvarnaReddy123

Hi
I hope we don’t have any method like that may be like this
Yourvariable.Any(Function (a) a.ToString.Contains(“your keyword”)).ToString

Cheers @SuvarnaReddy123

I have one string and i split that string and now i need to check if this strings contains or matches with my input data .

@SuvarnaReddy123 Contains can be used with Array Variable also. To my understanding, you are splitting a string which will then give you an array of elements and now you want to check whether your input data matches with any of the element of the array. So this can be done by using arrayVar.Contains(“your input value”) . It will give you Boolean value either True or False.

Thank you ,it worked fine for my scenario

8

Yourvariable.Any(Function (a) a.ToString.Contains(“your keyword”)).ToString**
Can you tell me what is the use of Function(a) a in this expression

9

Function (a) is a accumulator function which is used to select the result value, based on the condition we specify here and here we have contains method.
So Function (a) will retrieve only the one that matches the condition specified
hope this would help you

Fine
lets make it simple use this expression in a if condition like this
strArray1.Any(Function (a) strSubject.Contains(a))

This will give as TRUE or FALSE based on if the string has any element from array

hope this would help you
Cheers @SuvarnaReddy123

@SuvarnaReddy123
You can use Exist In Collection activity in for each, and it’ll give you the boolean value.

kindly let know for any queries or clarification

Actually this would work buddy
strArray1.Any(Function (a) strSubject.Contains(a))

To check whether strsubject has any keywords which are in the array.
