Hello,

I have the following:

String.Equals(a.Author, "CamÕes",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);

However a.Author has more than one word. So what I was really looking
for is something like:

a.Author.Contains("CamÕes",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);

How can I do this?

Thank you,

Miguel

Yes, I am trying the following:

String text = "O livro de Camões";

Boolean a = text.IndexOf("livro",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) != -1;

Boolean b = text.IndexOf("LIVRO",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) != -1;

Boolean c = text.IndexOf("Camões",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) != -1;

Boolean d = text.IndexOf("CAMÕES",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) != -1;

Boolean e = text.IndexOf("Camoes",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) != -1;

Boolean f = text.IndexOf("Camões",
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) != -1;

The only that fails is Camoes ... But I would like to have it pass.
Any idea why is not working?

Thank You,
Miguel
