Filtering through a blacklist and a whitelist

[AmejiOrape]

TextPacket textPacket = (TextPacket)packet;
                foreach (string str in NotifierConfig.Default.Whitelist)
                {
                    if (textPacket.Text.ToLower().Contains(str.ToLower()))
                    {
                        foreach (string strb in NotifierConfig.Default.Blacklist)
                        {
                            if (textPacket.Text.ToLower().Contains(strb.ToLower()))
                            {
                                textPacket.Send = true;
                            }

                            else
                            {
                                client.SendToClient(PluginUtils.CreateNotification(client.ObjectId, str + " called!"));
                            }
                        }
                    
                    }
                }

What I would like this code to do is first look through a given text packet sent for words in a whitelist, and if it has a word/string in there, it must then check for words/strings from a blacklist. If it has a blacklist word, nothing happens. If it does not contain a banned word, it will display a notification saying *word from whitelist* called!

I had a pretty clear envisioning of how it would work, but it just won't
But maybe one of you guys are more experienced and can help me.
Thanks!

Why would you check for a whitelist word? It would be the same to simply check for a black listed word, and why not censor it.

List<string> words = "This is a testing text.".Split(' ').ToList(); // Get each word.
            List<string> blackList = new List<string>(); // Fill this.
            var bannedWords = from i in blackList where words.Contains(i) select i; // Retrieve only the banned words.
            foreach (string bWord in words) { 
                if (bannedWords.Contains(bWord)) 
                    words[words.IndexOf(bWord)] = new string('*', bWord.Length); 
            }

Yes it could have been done nicer but whatever. The idea is that LINQ can be a true ass saver sometimes.

Well, I don't need the blacklist word censored, I just want it to display a notification if the text has a whitelist word and doesn't have a blacklist word. For any other situation, nothing happens.

            List<string> whiteList = new List<string>(); // Fill this.

            var result = from i in words where !blackLis*****ntains(i) && whiteLis*****ntains(i) select i;
            if(resul*****unt() > 0)
                // It has a whitelisted word and not a blacklisted one.

Ummm, that doesn't look very C# to me.
Or we are just on a much different level of coding. But when I try putting that in my code it just comes up with a lot of redlines. Obviously I need to fit it to the variables that fit my code, but it seems like "From I In Words Where" is more of an english explanation rather than something a computer would follow.


Duh, we obviously don't have the same references in our files. :P
I added System.Collections.Generic, gonna test it.

Okay, but the flaw in this setup is that you can't find which Whitelist word triggered it so that you can call it.

Each word is capitalized because I'm a cs so thats why it appeared in red lines. Also please forgive my previous code as it lacks of the correct logic.
Here is a working one:

Well, it works now for the most part. It won't call when there's a blacklist word. But now, this happens.

Do you know how to access a item inside a list? If you want to know ONLY the first word which triggered the function then use "whiteListed[0]" in order to retrieve the first item.

Also please learn the basics, I am offering very cheap courses in order to get you started. PM me if you are interested whatsoever.

Ohhh, because it's an array of strings, so you use array notation. Thanks. I think this code might finally be finished

No problemo

Here's my go at it:

string input = "This is an input string.";
string[] blackList = new string[] {"is"};
for (int i = 0; i < blacklist.Length; i++) {
    if (input.Equals(blackList[i], StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)) {
        //Black listed word found
    }
}
