Is there a better way of checking if a word exists in an array of strings without including Punctuation Marks?
what I have tried,
const sArray=['Lorem','Ipsum','typesetting-','industry.','Ipsum?','has' ]
console.log(sArray.toString().replaceAll(".","").includes("industry")) //true
console.log(sArray.includes("industry")) //false
Something like this?
sArray.some(str => str.includes('industry'))
If you do a lot of operations on the array, I suggest creating a new reference of the array after replacing, then dealing with the new array.
const sArray=['Lorem','Ipsum','typesetting-','industry.','Ipsum?','has' ]
const trasformedArray = sArray.map(i => i.replaceAll('.', ''));
console.log(trasformedArray.includes("industry"))
sArray.some(e => e.includes("industry")). Pay attention to the fact that theincludeshere isString.prototype.includes, notArray.prototype.includes.Array.prototype.find()(const foundItem = sArray.find(e => e.includes("industry")); if (foundItem !== -1) { /* manipulate the string */ })
