[Bug-apl] String element of general array

Forgive the question, but my experience is only with the original APL and not APL2.  I have a (general array) vector.  Each element is a string vector.  For example:

x←'abcd'  'efg'  'hijkl'

Now, if I have:

y←'hijkl'

z←'hhh'

How can I tell if y is in x?  How can I tell if z is in x?

I can easily do this with a loop, but that's not APL.

This is as far as I've gotten:

x∘.=y

(I am one function away from completing a keyed files system for GNU APL!)

Thanks!

Blake
