How to i create a variable of type ienumerable(of string())

#1

I want to convert ienumerable(system.text.regularexpression.match) variable to ienumerable (string()).

I could create variable of ienumerable(string) but not sure how to create ienumerable(string()) varisble cast match object type to string .

I appreciate any detailed help .

#2

string() is nothing but array of string. After ienumurable select array and type as string.

#3

Actually system.text.regularexpression.match is a single value
Only system.text.regularexpression.matchcollection is a collection type of variable

So we can directly iterate through your variable of type Ienumerable(system.text.regularexpression.match) with a FOR EACH ACTIVITY

but i need to convert ienumerable of system.text.regularexpression.match to ienumerable of string object to perform sone string functions on it

#5

This link may help you,

#6

we can perform directly string functions in that variable of type Ienumerable(system.Text.RegularExpressions.Match)

that is if that variable is passed as input to a FOR EACH activity with the type argument chosen as System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match
–and inside the loop use variable with ToString
like
item.ToString so that we can perform the string functions now

i need to perform contains function on this ienumerable .
Since the object type is not string , the function doesnt perform correct .

#8

but with object.ToString.Contains(“yourkeyword”) would work…
inside the loop

#9

i need to check the whole ienumerable .
like enum.contains(“string”) would check for this string in all the values present in enum and returns boolian output

#10

@Abhishek_Aithal1 I think we can convert ienumerable(system.text.regularexpression.match) to ienumerable (string()), by using :

IEnumerableStringArrayVar = IEnumerableMatchVar.Cast(Of String())

Is this What you needed :sweat_smile:

Hello @Abhishek_Aithal1
You can do this simply by using this logic…Assign this to a IEnumerable(of String) datatype variable

ienume_match_Variable.Select(Function(r) Convert.ToString(r) )

To convert this in Arr_of_String just use this code

ienume_match_Variable.Select(Function(r) Convert.ToString(r) ).toarray

@Abhishek_Aithal1 Isn’t the Conversion from IEnumerable.System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match to IEnumerable.System.String?

#14

yes conversion is to string .
coz i want to use contains function on this enumerable variable .

#15

@Abhishek_Aithal1 Can you send me the Workflow, I’ll See if i can Modify it :sweat_smile:

#16

Please how can I delete an empty item while looping through a system.collections.Generic.I enumerable<system.object>

#17

We won’t able to delete while looping buddy
Rather we can delete with an assign
May I know What kind of data is there within the innumerable
