Dealing with arrays, is there a tidy way?

Hi, I’m wondering if there is a cleaner way of achieving this (actual array is up to 128 chars) I am using this type of code to set triggers to pull data as it comes in over serial.

if(array[0] == ‘F’ && array[1] == ‘I’ && array[2] == ‘R’ && array[3] == ‘S’ && array[4] == ‘T’ && array[5] == ‘I’ && array[6] == ‘D’)

Is there a way to write it that would be more like;

If(array[0 to 6] == “FIRSTID”) ?

I saw something somewhere but can’t find it now.

Other option I guess would be to do math on it, define UIDs for each phrase?

Hoping there’s a simpler way?
I know nothing, have tried searching but probably don’t know the right words for the question.

Thanks!
