find an element in array?

[MrPolite]

Is there a function that searches for a string in an array of strings and returns the index of the element? like instr but for arrays

[Tygur]

How about Array.IndexOf? This will show "4" in a message box:

Dim StringArray() As String = {"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six"}
MsgBox(Array.IndexOf(StringArray, "four"))

[MrPolite]

tnx

[MrPolite]

actually, it doesnt work for what I want. For example if I have a string array and I want to search for a partial search it wont work, it only looks for an exact match
so do I have to write my own func if I want to do a paritial search?

Mr. Polite,

Did you ever figure out how to do this?

[Evad]

Dim StringArray() As String = {"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six"}
MsgBox(StringArray.contains("four"))

Can't test this cause I'm not at a dev box, but that will work for a combobox so it should work for a array.

let me know if I'm right.

-Thankx

Array does not have such property contains.
What is that?
