Hey everbody
I searched like for 2 hours now and I didn't find anything. Can anyone
tell me, how i search an array? I got an array of strings and have to
search these. How do I manage to do this? Thx

Have you looked at the documentation for Enumerable#find and/or
Enumerable#grep?

As I see it, with these methods i can only search for full strings. My
problem is, that i get a string and my search parameter is only a part
of this string (so find, include, find_index etc doesn't work...)

Having had a look at
http://ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/classes/Enumerable.html#M002710, you might
come up with something like
['a', 'list', 'of', 'strings'].select{ |string| string.include? 'i'}

Hi Benjamin,
I don't want to be negative but I wonder if you have ever studied seriously one of the many Ruby books which could answer your question.
Such a basic question should not be asked in this forum. Please do your homework first.

irb(main):001:0> ["foo","bar","foobar"].find{|x| x.include?("ooba")}
=> "foobar"

You can use find/select with a regular expression:
irb(main):037:0> a = %w{test test2 nothing something}
=> ["test", "test2", "nothing", "something"]
irb(main):038:0> a.find {|x| /test/ =~ x}
=> "test"
irb(main):039:0> a.select {|x| /test/ =~ x}
=> ["test", "test2"]
irb(main):040:0> a.select {|x| /thing/ =~ x}
=> ["nothing", "something"]

Thiel. You could've given him a link in the same amount of time you spent drafting that email. This is a learning area dude. Either help, or don't reply.

The last one is even simpler with #grep:
irb(main):001:0> a = %w{test test2 nothing something}
=> ["test", "test2", "nothing", "something"]
irb(main):002:0> a.grep /thing/
=> ["nothing", "something"]
irb(main):003:0>
Kind regards

Hi Clent,
I agree this is a learning area and I apolize to be negative to Ben. Of course, I could give him the solution but my remark should stimulate him to study the Ruby books. Its better and more enjoyable to find the solution of a (easy) programming problem yourself. On the other hand if you don't have the time or are in a hurry to get on with your program it's ok to use this forum.
