I am trying to find some words in some array and I did something like this:
$("#get").click(function(){ $(".name").each(function(){ var fisier = $(this).text(); alert($.inArray("migr", fisier)); }); }); I have "migr" in almost every fisier var but I get only -1. What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks!
You could check for the keyword with JavaScript indexOf method. This is check for each element of the array:
$("#get").click(function(){ $(".name").each(function(){ var fisier = $(this).text(); if(fisier.indexOf("migr") !=-1){ alert('Keyword found'); }else{ alert('Keyword not found'); } }); }); With the help of inArray function you can check value exists in array or not. $.inArray function return the index of element. If element not exist in array it will return -1. So, we can check it very simply weather a value exist in array or not.
inArray returns the index of the element in the array, not a boolean indicating if the item exists in the array.
So, to check if an item is in the array, use:
if(jQuery.inArray("test", myarray)!==-1) or
if($.inArray("test", myarray)!==-1) as inArray will return -1, if the element was not found.
if (!~$.inArray(0, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])) { // returns false, not -1 }.fisier is just a string not an array.
I guess this is what you want:
$("#get").click(function(){ var names = $('.name').map(function() { return $(this).text(); }); alert($.inArray("migr", names)); }); 
fisieris just a string not an array.fisierlikefisier.split(/\b/)
