Does the pattern appear anywhere?

Source: R/any_grepl.R

Shortcut for any(grepl(...)), mostly for consistency.

any_grepl(x, pattern, perl = TRUE, ignore.case = FALSE,
  fixed = FALSE, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A character vector.
pattern, perl, ignore.case, fixed

As in grep.
quiet

(logical, default: FALSE) If TRUE, silences any messages.

Details

From version v 1.4.0, any_grepl(a, bb) will be internally reversed to any_grepl(bb, a) if length(bb) > 1 and length(a) == 1.

Examples

any_grepl(c("A_D_E", "K0j"), "[a-z]")
#> [1] TRUE
