\title{Pattern Matching}
\source{
Idea from the \href{https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/blob/master/R/like.R}{\code{like} function from the \code{data.table} package}, but made it case insensitive at default and let it support multiple patterns. Also, if the regex fails the first time, it tries again with \code{perl = TRUE}.
}
\usage{
like(x, pattern, ignore.case = TRUE)
x \%like\% pattern
x \%like_case\% pattern
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a character vector where matches are sought, or an object which can be coerced by \code{\link[=as.character]{as.character()}} to a character vector.}
\item{pattern}{a character string containing a regular expression (or \code{\link{character}} string for \code{fixed = TRUE}) to be matched in the given character vector. Coerced by \code{\link[=as.character]{as.character()}} to a character string if possible. If a \code{\link{character}} vector of length 2 or more is supplied, the first element is used with a warning.}
\item{ignore.case}{if \code{FALSE}, the pattern matching is \emph{case sensitive} and if \code{TRUE}, case is ignored during matching.}
}
\value{
A \code{\link{logical}} vector
}
\description{
Convenient wrapper around \code{\link[base:grep]{base::grep()}} to match a pattern: \code{a \%like\% b}. It always returns a \code{\link{logical}} vector and is always case-insensitive (use \code{a \%like_case\% b} for case-sensitive matching). Also, \code{pattern} (\emph{b}) can be as long as \code{x} (\emph{a}) to compare items of each index in both vectors, or can both have the same length to iterate over all cases.
}
\details{
Using RStudio? This function can also be inserted from the Addins menu and can have its own Keyboard Shortcut like \code{Ctrl+Shift+L} or \code{Cmd+Shift+L} (see \code{Tools} > \verb{Modify Keyboard Shortcuts...}).
