contains

Determine if string contains substring in Requirements Table block

Since R2022b

Syntax

tf = contains(str,substr)

tf = contains(str,substr,IgnoreCase=true)

Description

tf = contains(str,substr) returns 1 (true) if the string str contains the substring substr, and returns 0 (false) otherwise. Use this operator in the Requirements Table block.

tf = contains(str,substr,IgnoreCase=true) checks if str contains substr, ignoring any differences in letter case.

Examples

Determine if String Contains Substring

In a Requirements Table block, create a requirement that outputs whether the string "Hello, world!" contains the substring "Hello".

y = contains("Hello, world!","Hello")

Determine if String Contains Substring While Ignoring Case
