How to search for a particular word in a string from a arraylist of String

Question

I have a string

String string="I would loved to be the part of cricket team"

and I have a arraylist

ArrayList <String> list = new ArrayList(); 
list.add("part");
list.add("bend");
list.add("bet");
list.add("bear");
list.add("beat");
list.add("become");
list.add("begin");

Now I want to search from this string using this arraylist. How can i Do that without using for loop ?

• Suresh Atta: Now I want to search from this string using this arraylist Can you explain what it is ?
• 2787184: what you have tried so far.?
• Vipul Jain: Means that if I search from this string using this arraylist then result should be "part".
• Stultuske: You will need to iterate over the list somehow. Java 8 provides you with Streams and Lambda's, tried those yet?
• Harish: try using string.contains(array[i]) and iterate over it and returnthe results..

Answer 1

Using Java 8 streams:

list.stream()
 .filter(s -> string.contains(s))
 .forEach(System.out::println);

• marstran: @OnkarMusale Probably because none of the search strings matched the input.

Answer 2

You have to check one by one by using String.compare() function. Is it what you're asking?

Answer 3

for (String x : list) {
 if(string.contains(x)) {
 System.out.print(x);
 }
}

• Andrew: How can i Do that without using for loop ?
• SacJn: @AndrewTobilko don't think so, it can be
• Vipul Jain: @AndrewTobilko- I know we can use in this way also, but I was somehow trying to avoid that, that's why I asked this question

Answer 4

// Use JAVA 8 feature 
String str = "I would loved to be the part of cricket team";
ArrayList <String> list = new ArrayList(); 
list.add("part");
list.add("bend");
list.add("bet");
list.add("bear");
list.add("beat");
list.add("become"); 
list.add("begin");
boolean anyMatch = list.stream().anyMatch(s -> s.contains(str));
