      It's been a good day at the coal face. Now pondering the best way to work out how to determine if one element of an array of strings is contained within another string. It's a bit of a reverse of the normal.

        In JavaScript, assuming variables array_of_strings and putative_superstring, you can do:

        Code:
        return array_of_strings.some(value => putative_superstring.includes(value));
        Though to work on IE, which doesn't support ES6:

        Code:
        return array_of_strings.some(function(value) { return putative_superstring.indexOf(value) != -1; });

          That's all a bit


          Mostly because I know sweet FA about JavaScript

          In the meantime, I distracted myself by finishing S6 of Marvel's Agents of the increasingly implausible SHIELD.

          Bring back the Oak Island nutjobs, all is forgiven!

            Turns out, watching tat on the telly is perfect for fixing tricky problems.

            All solved with:
            Code:
            =INDEX($A$2:$A$5,MATCH(1,ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A$2:$A$5 ,C2))*1,0))
            Entered as an array formula so it gets some curly brackets around it

              Tea has been ribs and chips

              I didn't really have the energy to make the lamb shanks, so they'll be done tomorrow when (I hope) the booster jab's side effects have diminished

              It's not as bad as the first couple of times, I don't think, but it has made me feel pretty tired after a few hours

                Teaming it down here. Watched GBBO then Judy Dench on WDYTYA.

                  my goodness no Vlookup?????? Pat yourself on the back!

                  Once you use it to retrieve more than one column from data match wins hands down. On large amounts of data match just performs better.

                    A few drops of rain here in the PRS.

                      Been raining here for a couple of hours or more, off and on but mainly on. This is predicted to continue with little in the way of a break throughout tomorrow, and there's even the chance of a thunderstorm around lunchtime

                      Telly was Traffic Cops whilst dining

                      And after that, the rather more peaceful environs of The Repair Shop

                      Feeling pretty beat now, presumably due to the vaccine, so an early night seems like a good idea

                      Goodnight all
