Help with testing against mulitple URLs

in Using jQuery • 12 years ago

Can anyone tell me how to check against multiple URLs in just one if statement?

Example that doesn't work:

$(document).ready(function($) {
if (window.location.href.indexOf('google.com/' || 'yahoo.com/') != -1) {
alert('matched URL');
else {
alert('URL not matched');
});

What I can do that DOES work is:

$(document).ready(function($) {
if (window.location.href.indexOf('google.com/') != -1) {
alert('matched URL');
}
else if (window.location.href.indexOf('yahoo.com/') != -1) {
alert('matched URL');
else {
alert('URL not matched');
}
});

My problem is that I would like to try matching against a quite a few URLs, and I assume/hope there must be an easy way to do with just one if and else. Does anyone know of a solution? Thanks!

put all the url's in an array and loop over the array with $.each or a "for" loop

var urlArrayMatch;
$.each( myUrlArray, function(i, urlString){
      if (window.location.href.indexOf( urlString ) != -1) {
            urlArrayMatch=true;
            return true; // break out of loop if match found
        }
});

Would you happen to know if there would be a way to have a function run only if they all came out as false? I tried an else, but that runs after each URL. I would want it to check the whole array, then run function if none of URLs matched, essentially I'm making a blacklist for a Chrome Extension.
