pyarrow.compute.match_like#

pyarrow.compute.match_like(strings, /, pattern, *, ignore_case=False, options=None, memory_pool=None)#

Match strings against SQL-style LIKE pattern.

For each string in strings, emit true iff it matches a given pattern at any position. % will match any number of characters, _ will match exactly one character, and any other character matches itself. To match a literal %, _, or ', precede the character with a backslash. Null inputs emit null. The pattern must be given in MatchSubstringOptions.

Parameters:

patternstr

Substring pattern to look for inside input values.

ignore_casebool, default False

Whether to perform a case-insensitive match.

optionspyarrow.compute.MatchSubstringOptions, optional
