Hello Everyone,

Good day!

I would like to seek for your help regarding on how to get value inside array using an expression.

I have an array that contains string.

Example array

Example list values
list = ["item bag", "item shoes", "pencil", "paper"]

I have an expression : But below results to false
and(contains(variables('testArray'), 'pencil'), contains(variables('testArray'), 'paper'))

what I want is to result to true. which means all string with an "item" should be check/included so the result will be true.

How to achieve that? 

Thanks for your help in advance

@YamiteKudasai please check this blog, why it returns false while just trying to check if the array contains 'item', it will return true only if you try to check if it contains exact value e.g. 'item bag', 'item shoes'

But if you still want to check, have a foreach loop, add a compose and compare each item with your string which will then work the way you are expecting
