Multiple value for if-statement

If my statement contains two conditions:

string searchx = "some string"; 

if ((searchx.Contains("a1")) || (searchx.Contains("a2")))
{
...
}

But how to get list of values with single variable for statement?

If I got a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9...

Can I do it somehow this way, seems it is wrong attempt:

var valueList = new List<string> { "a1", "a2", "a3", "a4"};

But just to explain what I want to do, so if any value exist under valueList, condition is accepted:

if (searchx.Contains(valueList)) 
{
...
}

The best if I can get multiple value return I guess or any other way to get statement with updated list of values through single variable of any other way, which can work for me this way?

This has worked for me:

if (valueList.Any(x => searchx.Contains(x)))
{
}

or even shorter (thanks to rajeeshmenoth)

    if(valueList.Any(searchx.Contains))

You can use the Linq :

  bool b = valueList.Any(searchx.Contains);

Try this :

    string searchx = "a8"; 
    var valueList = new List<string>{"a1", "a2", "a3", "a4"};

    if (valueList.Any(searchx.Contains))
        Console.WriteLine("Data Matching..!!");
    else
        Console.WriteLine("Not Matching..!!");

Not the best solution, but works.

bool containsValue(string search)
{
var valueList = new List<string> { "a1", "a2", "a3", "a4"};
foreach (string s in valueList)
 {
 if(search.Contains(s))
  return true;
 }
return false;
}

and use it like :

if (containsValue(searchx))
{
... do something ...
}

You can make a foreach loop

string search = "GIVE A STRING";
List<string> DataList = new List<string> {"a1", "a2", "a3",.....};
foreach(string Data in DataList)
{ 
  if(search.Contains(Data))
  { //TODO }
}

You can try and use Except

if (valueList.Except(searchx).Any())
{

}
