Checking if one array contains another array
suggest changepublic static class ArrayHelpers
{
public static bool Contains<T>(this T[] array, T[] candidate)
{
if (IsEmptyLocate(array, candidate))
return false;
if (candidate.Length > array.Length)
return false;
for (int a = 0; a <= array.Length - candidate.Length; a++)
{
if (array[a].Equals(candidate[0]))
{
int i = 0;
for (; i < candidate.Length; i++)
{
if (false == array[a + i].Equals(candidate[i]))
break;
}
if (i == candidate.Length)
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
static bool IsEmptyLocate<T>(T[] array, T[] candidate)
{
return array == null
|| candidate == null
|| array.Length == 0
|| candidate.Length == 0
|| candidate.Length > array.Length;
}
}
Sample:
byte[] EndOfStream = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("---3141592---");
byte[] FakeReceivedFromStream = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Hello, world!!!---3141592---");
if (FakeReceivedFromStream.Contains(EndOfStream))
{
Console.WriteLine("Message received");
}
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
