Search Text By Value Unity
I need to get a Text GameObject by its value.
For example:
There's a lot of Texts and I only need the one that Says "Hello", NOT THE NAME, the value, i'ts content.
//PseudoCode
string = "Hello";
GameObject.FindObjectsByValue("Hello")

It would be awesome if you could provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example.

There is no built-in function for that, so you need to do it manually. It depends on your situation. In general you must:
- Have reference to all GameObjects that might have that text value
- Check each GameObject's text values with loop
If you need to look for that word once or twice then you can do something like this:
Text array = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<Text>();
foreach (var x in array)
{
if (string.Compare(x.text,"Hello") == 0)
{
// The stuff to do here
}
}
If you need to keep looking for that word many times then you need store reference to those GameObjects in some variable and access it anytime you need. This is because FindObjectsOfType<>(); is quite an expensive operation so we need to do it as little as possible. Something like this should work:
private Text array;
private void Awake()
{
Text array = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<Text>();
}
private void Update()
{
foreach (var x in array)
{
if (string.Compare(x.text, "Hello") == 0)
{
// The stuff to do here
}
}
}
