Search list of objects

I get a list of security groups a user belongs to as array of objects. I use DirectoryEntry to get active directory properties and one of the properties is "memberOf" (de.properties["memberOf"].value). The return values is an "array of objects". Each element of this array of objects look something like:

"CN=SITE_MAINTENANCE,OU=CMS,OU=SD,OU=ESM,OU=Engineering Systems,DC=usa,DC=abc,DC=domain,DC=com"

I can loop through the elements, cast each element as "string" and search this way. I just thought there might be an easier way that does not require looping. I need to be able to find the one(s) with OU=CMS in it.

Thanks.

You can use like follows

string listString="CN=SITE_MAINTENANCE,OU=CMS,OU=SD,OU=ESM,"+
                     "OU=Engineering Systems,DC=usa,DC=abc,DC=domain,DC=com"

Using linq:

listString.Split(',').Contains("OU=CMS")

W/o linq:

Array.IndexOf(listString.Split(','), "OU=CMS") >= 0

Loop through the array and then use indexOf or Regexp search for the string "OU=CMS". If it exists in the string, then you've "found the one(s) with OU=CMS in it."

You can do anything like throwing the items into a new list or whatever you want.
