is there any way to check if the array's string contains the string, but is not exactly alike it??

this is close to what i used in WLMini Media Player:

code:

---

for(x in somearray){
if(somestring.search(somearray[x]) != -1){
Debug.Trace(somearray[x]); // prints the found stuff.
}
}

---

lol, a bit confusin, but ill figure it out, thanks roflmao

code:

---

for(x in somearray){ //For each array element
    if(somestring.search(somearray[x] != -1){ //search the target text for array element
        // !=-1 means the string text was found (only returns -1 when text is not found, else returns the index or position of the first character
        Debug.Trace(somearray[x]); //Print it so we know it found the text
    }
}

---

Just to try and explain it

umm...i tried that, and every time i try to search the array, it returns this in the debug window...

code:

---

Error: Expected ')' in regular expression (code: -2146823268)
       File: my pm chat.js. Line: 150.
Function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage returned an error. Code: -2147352567

---

help please

the code im using to search is like this(vars are defined)

code:

---

function filtaNow(ChitChatter, tehmess){
    for(x in filta0){ //For each array element
        if(tehmess.search(filta0[x]) != -1){ //This is line 150
        // !=-1 means the string text was found (only returns -1 when text is not found, else returns the index or position of the first character
            Debug.Trace(somearray[x]); //Print it so we know it found the text
        }
    }
   
}

---

you have to Debug.Trace(filta0[x]); not somearray[x]...

As for the error... check what filta0[x] is by tracing it on line 149. It may be that it is empty or something strange

The problem was in spuky's post.

thanks for the help, i got it to work now, but...
when it calls that for statement, it just makes a list of every string in the array...i don't see why, and when i change

code:

---

if(temess.search(filta0[x] != -1)){

---

to

code:

---

if(temess.search(filta0[x] != -1) == 0){

---

it returns nothing at all...

would it be possible to use a while statement, rather than a for statement?
