POString Array Thing!

Body
copied!<p>Right - to start with, I'm entering unfamiliar areas with this - so please be kind!</p> <p>I have a script that looks a little something like this:</p> <pre><code>Private Function checkString(ByVal strIn As String) As String Dim astrWords As String() = New String() {"bak", "log", "dfd"} Dim strOut As String = "" Dim strWord As String For Each strWord In astrWords If strIn.ToLower.IndexOf(strWord.ToLower, 0) >= 0 Then strOut = strWord.ToLower Exit For End If Next Return strOut End Function </code></pre> <p>It's function is to check the input string and see if any of those 'astrWords' are in there and then return the value.</p> <p>So I wrote a bit of code to dynamically create those words that goes something like this:</p> <pre><code>Dim extensionArray As String = "" Dim count As Integer = 0 For Each item In lstExtentions.Items If count = 0 Then extensionArray = extensionArray & """." & item & """" Else extensionArray = extensionArray & ", ""." & item & """" End If count = count + 1 Next My.Settings.extensionArray = extensionArray My.Settings.Save() </code></pre> <p>Obviously - it's creating that same array using list items. The output of that code is exactly the same as if I hard coded it - but when I change the first bit of code to: Dim astrWords As String() = New String() {My.Settings.extensionArray} instead of: Dim astrWords As String() = New String() {"bak", "log", "dfd"} It starts looking for the whole statement instead of looping through each individual one?</p> <p>I think it has something to do with having brackets on the end of the word string - but I'm lost!</p> <p>Any help appreciated :)</p>
