advanced string management and completion C#

Question

Hello,

Alright, so im going to jump in with my situation:

so i have string[] MyStringArray with "hello", "goodbye", "morning" in it, and now i have a normal string MatchString = "hel", now, on a specific trigger, id like to be able to loop through the strings in MyStringArray, and find the most likely match, and replace. so for instance, say i had the string "Hello, and good mor" and then i trigger the event, id want the resulting string to be "Hello, and good morning". same would be true for "i have got to go, go" -> "i have got to go, goodbye"

EDIT: i want on the trigger to only take the last word, separated by a space.

~code examples please! and thanks! - Xavier

Answer 1

errrr....

why doesn't "i have got to go, go" turn into "i have got to goodbye, gooodbye"?

and..

"Hello, and good mor" isn't "Hello, and goodbye morning"

Answer 2

You can use the .StartsWith() method, i.e.

foreach (var str in MatchArray)
{
    if (str.StartsWith(MatchString))
    {
        //it's a possible match
    }
}

But you have to deal with multiple matches seperately
