Find in URL string from Array of values?

Question

I am trying to find array values in URL string? check the condition If requested URL contains array values then pass condition otherwise redirect to google.com

example

     $(document).ready(function () {
        var urls = ["/dept/ce/",
                      "/dept/cs",
                      "/dept/career",
                      "/dept/it",
                      "/dept/mkt/",
                      "/dept/Membership/"
                      , "/dept/pr"
                      , "/dept/PS"
                      , "/dept/ta"
                      , "/dept/wc"
                      , "/dept/PubsProducts"
                      , "_layouts/settings.aspx"
                      ,"/_catalogs/masterpage/"];

       //If document.location.href = "http://localhost/dept/ce/default.aspx" 
       //And Array has "/dept/ce" values
       //Now check document.location.href against array values, if    
      //document.location.href contains array values then pass condition otherwise 
      //else condition 
    });

I don't see exactly what you're trying to do, are you just trying to see if any of the url string values are contained within the current url? — Vap0r

@James123: This really isn't something that should be done with JavaScript. What if I have JavaScript turned off? — gen_Eric

I believe you want to do something, IF the current location URL contains any of the strings in your array. Since you are using jQuery already, I recommend jQuery.grep.

Example:

if ($.grep(urls, function(str) { return location.href.indexOf(str) > -1; }).length > 0) {
  // do one thing
} else {
  // do another thing
}
