Searching within an Array

1

hello all,

quick lil question…

I’m trying to fugure out the best approach to to search within items in an array…

Here some sample code I use for basic (single item) search:

// Create an array with eight elements. 
myArray = ["a", "b", "c"]; 

// Specify what we want to search for. 
searchString = "b"; 

// Use a for statement to loop through, potentially, all the elements of the array. 
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) { 

  // Check whether the current element matches the search value. 
  if (myArray* == searchString) { 

    // Do something with the matching element, if necessary. In this example, display 
    // a message in the Output window for testing purposes. 
    trace("Element with index " + i + " found to match " + searchString); 

    // Include a break statement to exit the for loop once a match has been found. 
    break; 
  }  
}

Ok, so what if I wanted to search for a Word among multiple words.
For example, how would I find out if the array finds a match within an array such as:

myArray = ["Betty Davis", "Team Macromedia", "Houston Soccer Team"];

**How would I find all array items that match “Team”? ** :book:

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
