How to search for NSMutablearray content in substring of a NSString?

I created an NSMutableArray and am sear开发者_JAVA技巧ching/matching the content of array with NSString's substring but how to do it?

NSMutableArray *tmparray = {@"PPG" , @"AG" , @"HD" };
NSString *tmpstring = @"MAAPPG";

if ([tmparray containsObject:tmpstring] ) {
  NSLog(@"String found");
}

But it's not happening because tmparray contain "PPG" not "MAAPPG" how to search for substring matching ?

You can use an NSPredicate to do this, but it may be slow. Here's a simpler approach along the lines of what your trying:

NSMutableArray *tmparray = {@"PPG" , @"AG" , @"HD" };
NSString *tmpstring = @"MAAPPG";
NSRange *tmprange;
for(NSString *string in tmparray) { 
    tmprange = [tmpstring rangeOfString:string];
    if (tmprange.location != NSNotFound) {
        NSLog(@"String found");
        break;
    }
}

how about this

for(NSString *arrString in tmparray){
 if([tmpstring rangeOfString:arrString].location != NSNotFound){
   NSLog(@"String found");
 }
}

NSArray *tmparray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"PPG" , @"AG" , @"HD",nil];
    NSString *tmpstring = @"MAAPPG";
    NSRange textRange;
    for(NSString *string in tmparray)
    {
        textRange =[tmpstring rangeOfString:string];
        if(textRange.location != NSNotFound)
        {
            NSLog(@"String found ");
        }
    }

check this by using other substrings also...
