Question

I want to search a word inside a string : For example let the String be "ThisIsFile.java" and let i want to search "File.java" or "IsFile"

This is something like sql 'like' query but unfortunately i am not getting that string from database.

Please suggest me any good solution for this. Thanks

There's a variety of ways of achieving this and the method you choose will depend on the complexity of your queries. For a simple plain symbol/word match the String class provides a contains method that takes a single parameter, the String to search for - and returns true if it occurs within the search String.

bool containsFile = myString.contains("file");
