C# equivalent statement for vb "Like" statement?

Is there a C# "Like" statement for comparing two strings?

if(stringA Like "%diabe%mel %)
do stuff...

Thanks in advance!

the Regex class (in System.Text.Reg ularExpressions ) can do this for you.
For example:

Regex rgx = new Regex("diabe.*m el");
if (rgx.IsMatch(st ringA))
{
// Its a match
}

Thanks, is it possible to have a regex to searches with "in any order" for
the params passed, in one call without creating all the possible word orders
as seperate regex'es?

With the below example, if a user types "diabe mel", find words that match,
basically, "%diab%mel% " as well as "%mel%diab% "

Thanks again for the help!

Sure... use the '|' operator, meaning this|that. So you could use the
regex "diab.*mel|mel. *diab"

Hi Derrick
you can use String.Equals Method which determines whether two String
objects have the same value
string k;
string m;
if (m.equals(k))

I've never needed it before but now I do! Does anyone know if you are able to perform a NOT Like search using Classic ASP ADO? i.e. myData.Filter = "Ref NOT LIKE '*1234*'" by the way this doesn't work!! and neither does myData.Filter = "Ref <> LIKE '*1234*'"

My problem is the last bit of coding below, the like statement does not work. what I have is a product options field and in it is stored characters i.e. "avcy" etc what the query does is that if I type in any single character all the products that match the criteria should be displayed. So if I typed in an "a" I should get 3 returns (see below) Fields could look like this: product.options: bhw djhsa

I can do it in a query by placing the value in a like statement and it gives all variations , but i want the value to be a...

Hi, I need to write a function that should behave like the SQL's "like" operator on a list of words. I was wondering if I can use Regex directly to do this job. But I've been reading about regex and it supports very different characters and behaves different. So, I'm looking for an advise. I'd like to know if it is feasable or not, I mean, if dotnet Regex implementation could handle it.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
