Is substring¤

Checks if a source value is a substring of a target value.

Characteristics¤

This is a boolean distance measure, i.e., all distances are either 0 or 1.

Compares single values (as opposed to sequences of values). If multiple values are provided, all values are compared and the lowest distance is returned.

Parameter¤

Reverse¤

Reverse source and target inputs

  • ID: reverse
  • Datatype: boolean
  • Default Value: false

Advanced Parameter¤

None

  • startsWith — The Starts With plugin tests a stricter condition: not only must the target appear in the source, but it must appear at the very start.
  • substringDistance — Containment and similarity are not the same measure. Is substring checks whether the source string appears anywhere inside the target and returns a binary result; Substring comparison scores the overall similarity between the two strings.
