method

Text.contains

Text.contains(s, sub) -> bool

Returns true when sub occurs anywhere inside s. An empty substring is always considered present. Use it for a quick membership test — filtering a log line, checking for a forbidden word, or seeing whether a path includes a folder — when you do not need the position. Reach for Text.index_of when you also want where it matched.

Parameters

sthe string to search
subthe substring to look for

Example

program Filter {
  var line: string = "error: disk full"

  handler Scan phase Update {
    if Text.contains(line, "error") {
      # flag it
    }
  }
}
