Contains

Tests whether a source value contains a specified search value. Supports substring searching within strings and value searching within arrays.

Syntax

Contains(source, searchValue)

Parameters

• source (string or array): The source value to search within
• searchValue (any): The value to search for

Returns

• boolean: True if the source contains the search value, false otherwise

Description

For strings, performs case-sensitive substring searching. For arrays, searches for exact value matches using Jyro equality semantics. Returns false if either argument is null.

Examples

String searching

var hasSubstring = Contains("Hello World", "World")  # Returns true

var notFound = Contains("Hello", "Goodbye")          # Returns false

Array searching

var fruits = array ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
var hasApple = Contains(fruits, "apple")             # Returns true

var hasGrape = Contains(fruits, "grape")             # Returns false
