Elegant way for pattern matches with List-entrys Groovy -

whats common way of solving situation have text

this awesome text , nothing else matters

and have list

[ "nothing","bread","butter","fool" ] 

and want check if of words in string inside list

my soulution far :

 boolean check = false  string mystring = "this awesome text , nothing else matters"  list mylist = [ "nothing","bread","butter","fool" ]   def stringlist = mystring.tokenize(" ")  stringlist.each{      if( in mylist ){       check = true     }  } 

is there more performant or better elegant way handle ?

how handle punctuation marks ?

for suggestions in advance

i @ using of collection methods. intersect comes mind.

def mystring = "this string example" def words = ['my', 'list', 'of', 'stuff']  def matches = mystring.tokenize(" ").intersect(words) println matches def check = (matches.size() > 0)
