Hi, I have a String array resulting from a Read PDF Text activity which I split by line breaks. I want to get the index of the first element in the array containing certain terms within the string. How do I do this?

Try the below query. Replace array_input with your array variable name and string_to_check with your terms

(from x in array_input where x.Contains("string_to_check") select array.IndexOf(array_input ,x)).FirstOrDefault.tostring

How does the query work? I’ve never seen such syntax in VB.NET

Query checks every item in the array and selects the index of the element which matches the condition.

Try the query, it will work :slight_smile:
