Equivalent to <code>grepl(pattern, x)</code>. See <code><a href="str_subset.html">str_which()</a></code> for an equivalent to <code>grep(pattern, x)</code>. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> str_detect(string, pattern, negate = FALSE) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>string</code></td> <td> <p>Input vector. Either a character vector, or something coercible to one.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>pattern</code></td> <td> <p>Pattern to look for. </p> <p>The default interpretation is a regular expression, as described in <a href="../../stringi/html/stringi-search-regex.html">stringi::stringi-search-regex</a>. Control options with <code><a href="modifiers.html">regex()</a></code>. </p> <p>Match a fixed string (i.e. by comparing only bytes), using <code><a href="modifiers.html">fixed()</a></code>. This is fast, but approximate. Generally, for matching human text, you'll want <code><a href="modifiers.html">coll()</a></code> which respects character matching rules for the specified locale. </p> <p>Match character, word, line and sentence boundaries with <code><a href="modifiers.html">boundary()</a></code>. An empty pattern, "", is equivalent to <code>boundary("character")</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>negate</code></td> <td> <p>If <code>TRUE</code>, return non-matching elements.</p> </td></tr> </table> <h3>Value</h3> <p>A logical vector. </p> <h3>See Also</h3> <p><code><a href="../../stringi/html/stri_detect.html">stringi::stri_detect()</a></code> which this function wraps, <code><a href="str_subset.html">str_subset()</a></code> for a convenient wrapper around <code>x[str_detect(x, pattern)]</code> </p> <h3>Examples</h3> <pre> fruit <- c("apple", "banana", "pear", "pinapple") str_detect(fruit, "a") str_detect(fruit, "^a") str_detect(fruit, "a$") str_detect(fruit, "b") str_detect(fruit, "[aeiou]") # Also vectorised over pattern str_detect("aecfg", letters) # Returns TRUE if the pattern do NOT match str_detect(fruit, "^p", negate = TRUE) </pre> <hr /><div style="text-align: center;">[Package <em>stringr</em> version 1.4.0 <a href="00Index.html">Index</a>]</div> </body></html>
