grepl: Pattern Matching

In Fuzzy-Logix/AdapteR: Converts R syntax to SQL to provide fast analytics using in-database C++ library DB Lytix.

Description

Match pattern in each element of x

Usage

grepl(pattern, x, ignore.case = FALSE, perl = FALSE, fixed = FALSE,
  useBytes = FALSE)

Arguments

pattern	string to search for
x	FLVector of characters or R vector where matches are sought
ignore.case	logical indicating case-sensitivity. Currently always FALSE for FLVectors
perl	logical. Should perl-compatible regexps be used? Always FALSE for FLVectors
fixed	logical. If TRUE, pattern is a string to be matched as is. For FLVectors, regualar expressions are not supported
useBytes	If TRUE the matching is done byte-by-byte rather than character-by-character. Always FALSE for FLVector

Value

for FLVector input as x, FLVector with 1 for found and 0 for no match is returned.Else R Vector as in base::grepl is returned.

Constraints

row FLVectors are not supported currently. Output slightly differs from base::grepl. See return

See Also

grepl for R function reference implementation.

Examples

widetable  <- FLTable("tblstringID", "stringID")
flv <- widetable[1:6,"string"]
flvector <- grepl("A",flv)
