in reply to Re^3: check whether a array element is equal to a string.
in thread check whether a array element is equal to a string.

My code reads from a text file, populates an array, iterates through the array and calls some functions if the array conatins elements. I have enclosed my code please let me know if there a better way to do this or shorten the length of code.
