Evaluating Javascript Arrays
- by FailBoy
I have an array that contains an array of arrays if that makes any sense. so for example:
[[1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6]]
I want to see whether an array exists withing the array, so if [1, 2, 3] is duplicated at all. I have tried to use the .indexOf method but it does find the duplicate. I have also tried Extjs to loop through the array manually and to evaluate each inner array, this is how I did it:
var arrayToSearch = [[1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6]];
var newArray = [1, 2, 3];
Ext.each(arrayToSearch, function(entry, index){
console.log(newArray, entry);
if(newArray == entry){
console.log(index);
};
});
This also does not detect the duplicate. the console.log will output [1, 2, 3] and [1, 2, 3] but will not recognize them as equal. I have also tried the === evaluator but obviously since == doesn't work the === wont work. I am at wits end, any suggestions.
