Check if a string contains any substring in an array in PowerShell

Question

I am studying PowerShell. I want to know how to check if a string contains any substring in an array in PowerShell. I know how to do the same in Python. The code is given below:

any(substring in string for substring in substring_list) 

Is there similar code available in PowerShell?

My PowerShell code is given below.

$a = @('one', 'two', 'three') $s = "one is first" 

I want to validate $s with $a. If any string in $a is present in $s then return True. Is it possible in PowerShell?

Answer 1

Using the actual variables in the question for simplicity:

$a = @('one', 'two', 'three') $s = "one is first" $null -ne ($a | ? { $s -match $_ })  # Returns $true 

Modifying $s to not include anything in $a:

$s = "something else entirely" $null -ne ($a | ? { $s -match $_ })  # Returns $false 

(That's about 25% fewer characters than chingNotCHing's answer, using the same variable names of course :-)
