Javascript parsing?

Question

I'm coding something in extendscript for adobe after effects, which ends up being javascript.

I have an array and I would like to do a search for just the word "assemble" and return the whole jc3_RIG_008_masterLayer assemble string

var comps = ["_MAIN", "jc3_RIG_008_masterLayer assemble","jc3_RIG_008_masterLayer contact sheet", "[Z] source", "MM004 source"];

I'm not sure what the best/ most efficient way to achieve this is, but any thoughts would help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

@josegomezr has the right idea using a simple loop. I updated that idea to return the string that the poster is looking for.

var comps = ["_MAIN", "jc3_RIG_008_masterLayer assemble","jc3_RIG_008_masterLayer contact sheet", "[Z] source", "MM004 source"];
var compWithAssemble;
for(var i in comps){
    if(comps[i].indexOf("assemble") > -1){
        compWithAssemble = comps[i];
        break;
    }
}
// compWithAssemble has the string you are looking for.
console.log(compWithAssemble);
