Check/compare array elements

Questions & Answers

Trying to check the elements of an array i have created with var newArr = new Array();

These array elements are pieces of text that i am using on buttons.

How can i check the contents of the array to see if one is still in it? The location of the text in the array doesnt stay constant so i cant check a specific spot in it. Here is what i tried but I dont think i have the right syntax. 

var toolBeltList = new Array();

function ReplaceTool()//when called check the array elements for this text, if false do something
{
   if(toolBeltList!=("Tool01"))
   {
      box01=true;
   }

}

You have to check each element in the array (unless you find it, in which case you can stop checking):

box01 = true;
for (tool in toolBeltList) {
    if (tool == "Tool01") {
        box01 = false;
        break;
    }
}

Or you can use ArrayList instead of Array, which is basically the same sort of thing, but it does have a Contains method:

if (!toolBeltList.Contains("Tool01")) {
    box01 = true;
}
