Parameters

lpcszTest: [input] the string to search for.
psaList: [input] the list to search for the string lpcszTest.
bCaseSensitive: [input] if true, the search is case sensitive.
bKeyPartialMatch: [input] if true, the match can be partial meaning that lpcszTest need only match the first part of the string in the list.
pnFound: [output] the index in the list of the first match. The index starts at 0.
nStart: [input] the offset index from which to begin the search in the list.

Returns true if found.

Examples

EX1

void okutil_is_in_list_ex1()
{
    vector<string> vsList = {"aaa", "bbb", "ccc", "ddd", "D", "eee", "fff"};
    string strFind = "D";
        
    //call with function defaults
    bool bIsInList = okutil_is_in_list( strFind, &vsList);
    //the search starts from 'aaa'. It finds "D" and returns true.
    
    //call again with following arguments
    bool bKeyCaseSensitive = false;
    bool bKeyPartialMatch = true;
    int nFirstIndexFound;
    int nStartOffset = 2;
    bIsInList = okutil_is_in_list( strFind, &vsList,  bKeyCaseSensitive, bKeyPartialMatch,  &nFirstIndexFound, nStartOffset);
    // this search begins with "ccc". It finds "ddd" to be a match since bKeyCaseSensitive = false and bKeyPartialMatch = true.
    // nFirstIndexFound is set to 3, and returns true.
