I want to compare a String that gets modified to its default

Question

I am writing a method to exclude metafields from a .csv file.

  public static string metaField(this string test)
    {
        String[] excludeMetafield = { "metafield_1000", "metafield_1001", "metafield_item_1_content_2", "metafield_short_description" };
        String testing = "";

        if (excludeMetafield.Contains(test) || excludeMetafield.Equals(test))
        {
            return test;
        }
        return testing = "Failed";
    }

When the string test gets passed into the method it is for example "short_description" but when the value is written to the .csv file it gets modified to "metafield_short_description".

My .Contains is not detecting that "metafield_short_description" CONTAINS "short_description". How can I do this?

Answer 1

you can use linq

var excludeMetafield =  new string[] { "metafield_1000", "metafield_1001", "metafield_item_1_content_2", "metafield_short_description" };

if (excludeMetafield.Any(e=>e.Contains(test))) return test; 
return "Failed";
