How can I search data from single input like Hulk 2003 from SQL database when there are two columns in the database (Movie_title
and Release_Date
).
Just to be clear column Movie_title
contains just the name of the movie and the release date of that movie is the column Release_Date
.
I tried with
public ActionResult Search(string search)
{
if (search == null)
{
return View("Index");
}
var Movie = db.Movies.Where(m => m.Movie_title .Contains(search) ||
m.Release_date.Contains(search))
.ToList();
return View(Movie);
}
I manage to find solution, if you have better please post it ;)
public ActionResult Search(string search)
{
int year = 0;
string title = string.Empty;
string yearparse = string.Empty;
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(search))
{
return View("Index");
}
string movieName = search;
string movieYear = search;
for (int i = 0; i < movieName.Length; i++)
{
if (char.IsLetter(movieName[i]))
{
title += movieName[i];
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < movieYear.Length; i++)
{
if (char.IsDigit(movieYear[i]))
{
yearparse += movieYear[i];
year = int.Parse(yearparse);
}
}
var Movies = db.Movies.Where(m => m.Movie_Title.Contains(title) && m.Release_date.Contains(year.ToString())).ToList();
return View(Movies);
}
