string compare

[Dino L.]

how can I know does some string contain some chars?

Now I use
Text1.StartsWith("nah")

I need something like SQL code "text1 like('%nah%')"

Have a look at the IndexOf() method in the String class.

Hi,

You can use IndexOf or LastIndexOf from String class

If it's a more complex expression you can use a regular expression, take a
look at Regex class and IsMatch method
Cheers,
