Print all strings in the given array that occur as the substring in the given string

Last Updated : 29 Mar, 2022

Given an array of string arr[] and a string str, the task is to print all the strings in arr[] that occur as a substring in str.

Example:

Input: str =”geeksforgeeks”, arr[] ={ “forg”, “geek”, “ek”, “dog”, “sfor”}
Output:
forg
geek
ek
sfor
Explanation: The strings “forg”, “geek”, “ek” and “sfor” occur as a substring in str. Therefore, the required count is 4.

Input: str =”abcd”, arr[] ={ “aa”, “bb”, “cc”}
Output: -1

Approach: The given problem is an implementation base problem. It can be solved by iterating over the given array of strings and for each string in arr[], check whether it occurs as a substring of str or not using the algorithm discussed in this article. Maintain a variable that stores If no string exists as a substring. In that case, print -1.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Returns true if s1 is substring of s2
int isSubstring(string s1, string s2)
{
  int M = s1.length();
  int N = s2.length();
 
  /* A loop to slide pat[] one by one */
  for (int i = 0; i <= N - M; i++) {
    int j;
 
    /* For current index i, check for
        pattern match */
    for (j = 0; j < M; j++)
      if (s2[i + j] != s1[j])
        break;
 
    if (j == M)
      return i;
  }
 
  return -1;
}
 
// Function to print all the strings
// in the given array that occur as
// the substring in the given string
void isSubstr(string Str, string arr[], int len)
{
 
  // Stores if no string is a
  // substring of str
  int flag = 0;
 
  // Iterate over the array of strings
  for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
  {
 
    // if the current string occur
    // as a substring in Str
    int s = isSubstring(arr[i],Str);
    if (s != -1) {
 
      // Print string i
      cout << arr[i] <<endl;
      flag = 1;
    }
  }
 
  // If no substring exist
  if (flag == 0)
    cout<<"-1"<<endl;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
  string arr[5]
    = { "forg", "geek", "ek", "dog", "sfo"};
  int len = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
  string Str = "geeksforgeeks";
 
  isSubstr(Str, arr, len);
 
  return 0;
}
