Hi,

 

Try the below code snippet as reference:

 

String1={sfdc,developer,star,Apex};

String2={software Developer,Java,cloud,apex};

 

String[] st = String1.split(' , ');

 

 

for(integer i = 0; i<st.size(); i++)

{

if(String2.contains(string.valueof(st[i])))

{

 

}

}

Hi sfdc_star,

 

Can you provide more information about the nature of comparision? 

 

Are the 2 strings equal, if they have the same list of comma seperated values but in a different order? If yes, then the following code should work:

 

// returns 1 if both string have the same list of comma seperated values (order does not matter)

// returns 0 if they don't have same list of values

 

private Boolean compareCommaSeperatedStrings(String val1, String val2) {

 

if(val1 == null || val2 == null) {

return false;

}

 

List<String> val1List  = val1.split(',');

List<String> val2List = val2.split(',');

Set<String> val1Set = new Set<String>();

Set<String> val2Set = new Set<String>();

 

for(String s : val1List) {

val1Set.put(s);

}

 

       for(String s : val2List) {

             val2Set.put(s);

       }

       

      if(val1Set.size() > val2Set.size()) {

return val1Set.containsAll(val2Set);

      }

      

      if(val1Set.size() > val2Set.size()) {

              return val2Set.containsAll(val1Set);

      }

      

      return val1Set.containsAll(val2Set);

     

}

 

The code is self explanatory.

 

Hope this helps!

You can make it simpler as this..........

 

 

 

public with sharing class test1
{
    set<String> s1 = new set<String>{'harsha','vardhan','sandeep','sankhla','mohammad','naved'};
    set<String> s2 = new set<String>{'vardhan','sandeep','sankhla','mohammad','naved' };
    public void compareSets()
    {
        if(s1.containsAll(s2) && s2.containsAll(s1))
        {
            system.debug('Both are equal');
        }
        else
        {
            system.debug('Both the sets are not equal');
        }
    }
}
