Searching of strings in a single string in python

Question

In this code, how can I check multiple strings in a single string in single statement?

line = '{        AutoLogin = 0;        Captive = 0;        Closed = 0;        Disabled = 0;        LastConnected = "2013-11-27 08:38:10 +0000";        Passpoint = 0;        PossiblyHiddenNetwork = 0;        SPRoaming = 0;        SSID = <534253>;        SSIDString = SBS;        SecurityType = "WPA/WPA2 Personal";        SystemMode = 1;        TemporarilyDisabled = 0;    })'

for token in line.split( ';' ):
    if 'RecentNetworks' in token:
        start = True
    if 'LastConnected' in token:
        start = True

Will be "line" a JSON, in this case maybe is easier parse the string as a json. — Francisco Puga

Try this:

for token in line.split(';'):
    start = any(s in token for s in ["RecentNetworks", "LastConnected"])

You can use regular expressions for this:

if re.search(r'RecentNetworks|LastConnected', token):
    start = True

I'm not sure if this is faster than the any solution, but I assume it.
