how to write for a string match anyone in a text
Nov 3rd, 2007, 5:18pm  
As string with syntax of 'equals', which only match the exact wordings e.g

String str1 = "CCCP";
String str2 = "CCCP";
// Tests to see if str1 is equal to str2
if(str1.equals(str2) == true) {
...

I wonder if there is function which match any of the wordings e.g

String str1 ="i am so happy today"; // whole sentence
String input ="happy"; //specific search key words

if input match/exist in any of str1 => return true
??

anyone can help? thanks

You can use the indexOf method with strings as well as single characters, so the following should work:
Code:
if(str1.indexOf(input)>=0))
{ 
  //do something
}
