AltocumulusTest for characters in a string
I want to test whether any of a set of characters exists within a string. I used the code below, but wonder if anyone can suggest a more efficient (and more elegant) method: string match "*\[XYZ...
Another option is to use the switch statement. So if you just want to see if "X", "Y", or "Z" are in a string, this would do the trick:
switch -glob $var {
"*A*" -
"*B*" -
"*C*" {
match found
}
default {
no match found
}
}This will perform a bit faster than a comparable regular expression or if/elseif statements.
