If you want to search for a String within an array of Strings you can use this function.


Private Function indexInArray(ByVal theArray As String(), ByVal value As String) As Integer
    For i As Integer = 0 To theArray.Length - 1
        If theArray(i) = value Then Return i
    Next
    Return -1
End Function


To use this function you have to pass the array you want the string to be searched in and the string you want to search (value).
This function will return -1 if it doesn't find the string you want to search within the array. If it does find it it returns the index. NOTE: This only works for one-dimensional arrays.

You can use this sub to test it.


Private Sub testIt()
    Dim myStrings(1) As String
    myStrings(0) = "hello"
    myStrings(1) = "world"
    If indexInArray(myStrings, "hello") <> -1 Then
        MessageBox.Show("The string in contained within the array")
    End If
End Sub
