Try:

C#

for (int i = 0; i < newList.Count - 1; i++)
   {
   if (newList[i].EndsWith(newList[i + 1]))
      return newList[i + 1];
   }

"This return only last matching condition.
if we have [0]read ,[1]ad and [2]salt, [3]alt it return only last 'alt' it also return 'ad' and 'alt'"

If that's what you want to do, then you have to explain it to us!

Try this:

C#

List<string>>matches = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < newList.Count - 1; i++)
   {
   if (newList[i].EndsWith(newList[i + 1]))
      matches.Add(newList[i + 1]);
   }

The matches list contains all the "ad" and "alt" values.
