Check if variable contains something from a list

[basmail]

Hello guys,
I would like to check if a specific value contains values from a list but the "List Contains" function only supports to check if the list contains a specific value.
Which is the best way to wor around this?

Thank you for the help :)

Give me an example of the values you are looking for, and I will provide some JavaScript code for you.

That would be amazing. ebub, ebook, audiobook for example, simple keywords :)
Thanks

Main / Tools / Execute code

Not tested very much.

function findSentencesWithKeyword(keyword, sentences) {
  return sentences.filter(function (sentence) {
    var words = sentence.toLowerCase().split(" ");
    var found = false;
    
    words.forEach(function (word) {
      if (word === keyword.toLowerCase()) {
        found = true;
      }
    });
    
    return found;
  });
}

log("running ... ");

var sentences = [
  "I love reading ebooks on my tablet.",
  "Do you have an audiobook recommendation?",
  "She prefers printed books to ebooks.",
  "I can't find my ebub anywhere.",
  "Where can I buy an audiobook online?"
];

var keywords = ["ebub", "ebook", "audiobook"];

keywords.forEach(function (keyword) {
  var matchingSentences = findSentencesWithKeyword(keyword, sentences);
  log("Keyword: " + keyword);
  log(matchingSentences);
  log("---------------");
});

Result:

@sergerdn
Thank a lot!
Its not excatcly what I looked for but based on your code I made a few changes and have a working solution now:

function findKeywordsInTitle(keywords, title) {
  var words = title.toLowerCase().split(/\W+/);
  var foundKeywords = [];
  
  keywords.forEach(function (keyword) {
    if (words.indexOf(keyword.toLowerCase()) !== -1) {
      foundKeywords.push(keyword);
    }
  });
  
  return foundKeywords;
}

var title = [[VARIABLE]];
var keywords = [[KEYWORDS]];

var keywordsPresent = findKeywordsInTitle(keywords, title);

[[KEYWORD_PRESENT_LIST]] = keywordsPresent.join(', ');

[[KEYWORD_PRESENT]] = keywordsPresent.length > 0; //true or false

if ([[KEYWORD_PRESENT]]) {
  log("Keywords found - " + [[KEYWORD_PRESENT_LIST]]);
}
