getting a string from a list, where string contains defined text

sebbeyer — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 18:12:28 GMT

Hi,

can someone help me please? I have created a list that looks something like that:

{"C1234_here_is_some_text", "C1235_here_is_some_other_text", "C1236_you_get_the_idea", ..., "C2000_still_dont_ends_here"}

I want to get the complete string of the list where the first part of the string (e.g. "C1234") is "C1999".

Whats the correct code here?

Thank you in advance

This is how I would do it

Names Default To Here( 1 );
x = {"C1234_here_is_some_text", "C1235_here_is_some_other_text", "C1236_you_get_the_idea", ..., "C2000_still_dont_ends_here"};

found = "Not Found";
For( i = 1, i <= N Items( x ), i++,
	If( Contains( x[i], "C1999" ) == 1,
		found = x[i];
		Break()
	)
);
show(found);
