C# & Unity - Searching an array for a value and return true/false [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Add necessary namespace

using System.Linq;

Then you can use linq Contains() method

string[] printer = {"jupiter", "neptune", "pangea", "mercury", "sonic"};
if(printer.Contains("jupiter"))
{
    Process.Start("BLAH BLAH CODE TO ADD PRINTER VIA WINDOWS EXEC"");
}

Solution 2:

string[] array = { "cat", "dot", "perls" };

// Use Array.Exists in different ways.
bool a = Array.Exists(array, element => element == "perls");
bool b = Array.Exists(array, element => element == "python");
bool c = Array.Exists(array, element => element.StartsWith("d"));
bool d = Array.Exists(array, element => element.StartsWith("x"));

// Display bools.
Console.WriteLine(a); // true
Console.WriteLine(b); // false
Console.WriteLine(c); // true
Console.WriteLine(d); // false

Solution 3:

Add using System.Linq; at the top of your file. Then you can do:

if ((new [] {"foo", "bar", "baaz"}).Contains("bar"))
{

}  

Solution 4:

    public static bool Contains(Array a, object val)
    {
        return Array.IndexOf(a, val) != -1;
    }

Solution 5:

Something like this?

string[] printer = {"jupiter", "neptune", "pangea", "mercury", "sonic"};
PrinterSetup(printer);

// redefine PrinterSetup this way:
public void PrinterSetup(string[] printer)
{
    foreach (p in printer.Where(c => c == "jupiter"))
    {
        Process.Start("BLAH BLAH CODE TO ADD PRINTER VIA WINDOWS EXEC"");
    }
}
