In Ruby, how do I find out if a string is not in an array?

Question

In Ruby, how would I return true if a string is not in an array of options?

# pseudo code
do_this if current_subdomain not_in [\"www\", \"blog\", \"foo\", \"         


        

Answer 1

do this if not ["www", "blog", "foo", "bar"].include?(current_subdomain)

or you can use grep

>> d=["www", "blog", "foo", "bar"]
>> d.grep(/^foo$/)
=> ["foo"]
>> d.grep(/abc/)
=> []
