vb.net function
I would like to create a function that can compare two strings but not a normal compare:
Str1 "one two three"
Str2 "two one three"
it would check that the words in the string are identical (not case sensitive) but just in the wrong order. in the example here the output could be true
It needs to be efficient, maybe regex can do this or maybe vb.net has something a method for this.
I am in visual studio app

Better way could be create a string array and the compare the different values.

i dont want too resolve close matches which may happen with fuzzy stuff. only where the words are all the same but in a different order

I found this on a thread but not sure if this will work as text and the logic is the wrong intersect
Function RevIntersect(arr1() As String, arr2() As String) As String()
Dim sResult, aux As New List(Of String)()
aux.AddRange(arr1)
aux.AddRange(arr2)
For Each elem As String In aux
If (Not arr1.Contains(elem) OrElse Not Arr2.Contains(elem)) AndAlso _
Not sResult.Contains(elem) Then
sResult.Add(elem)
End If
Next
Return sResult.ToArray()
End Function
The .NET Framework provides several methods to compare the values of strings. So, it would be better to refer the link below -

I am going to play around with this. one thing i used to do in access was use the immediate window and push values into a module function. Does VS offer up a similar thing.? Oh and thank you, ive been slow to respond today.
