Result of LINQ.Any to string

Question

So, I check if a string contains a certain word from an array with the following statement:

if(stringArray.Any(s => stringToCheck.Contains(s)))

Simple. Now a match is found and the statement is true. But I want to know also which item in the array matched with the string. The placeholder "s" in the LINQ statement above is not available in the following clause.

Hope somebody has an idea. I could just loop through the array, yes, but LINQ looks way nicer to me. =)

Answer 1

var match = stringArray.FirstOrDefault(s => stringToCheck.Contains(s));
if(match != null) {
    // match was found
}
