Using LINQ, I wanted to find all lines in a file that didn't have any of the strings in an array of "exclude" strings that I had. This is the function that I came up with to handle that case once I'd read in the lines from the file.
static string[] NotInSecondArray(string[] first, string[] exclude)
{
return first.Where(a => !a.Contains(exclude)).ToArray();
}
However, the string Contains function doesn't take an array so you need to add something like this:
public static class MyExtensions
{
public static bool Contains(this String str, string[] inArray)
{
foreach (string s in inArray)
{
if (str.Contains(s))
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
