# And/Or Detection

    library(strex)

## How it works

`strex` offers easy and/or versions of `stringr::str_detect()` via `str_detect_all()` and `str_detect_any()`. These are vectorized over `string` but not `pattern`. `stringr::fixed()` and `stringr::coll())` are handled correctly. Otherwise, `stringr` regular expressions are used. For `str_detect_all()`, a pattern argument `c("x", "y")` is converted to `"(?=.*x)(?=.*y)"`. For `str_detect_any()`, a pattern argument `c("x", "y")` is converted to `"x|y"`.

## Examples

    str_detect_all("quick brown fox", c("x", "y", "z"))
    #> [1] FALSE
    str_detect_all(c(".", "-"), ".")
    #> [1] TRUE TRUE
    str_detect_all(c(".", "-"), coll("."))
    #> [1]  TRUE FALSE
    str_detect_all(c(".", "-"), coll("."), negate = TRUE)
    #> [1] FALSE  TRUE
    str_detect_all(c(".", "-"), c(".", ":"))
    #> [1] FALSE FALSE
    str_detect_all(c(".", "-"), coll(c(".", ":")))
    #> [1] FALSE FALSE
    str_detect_all("xyzabc", c("a", "c", "z"))
    #> [1] TRUE
    str_detect_all(c("xyzabc", "abcxyz"), c(".b", "^x"))
    #> [1]  TRUE FALSE
    str_detect_any("quick brown fox", c("x", "y", "z"))
    #> [1] TRUE
    str_detect_any(c(".", "-"), ".")
    #> [1] TRUE TRUE
    str_detect_any(c(".", "-"), coll("."))
    #> [1]  TRUE FALSE
    str_detect_any(c(".", "-"), coll("."), negate = TRUE)
    #> [1] FALSE  TRUE
    str_detect_any(c(".", "-"), c(".", ":"))
    #> [1] TRUE TRUE
    str_detect_any(c(".", "-"), coll(c(".", ":")))
    #> [1]  TRUE FALSE
    str_detect_any(c("xyzabc", "abcxyz"), c(".b", "^x"))
    #> [1] TRUE TRUE

## Performance

Unless you’re doing a huge amount of computation, it won’t matter, but FWIW, it’s faster to convert to regex using `str_escape()` rather than using `coll()`.

    bench::mark(
      str_detect_all(rep("*", 1000), rep(str_escape("*"), 555)),
      str_detect_all(rep("*", 1000), coll(rep("*", 555))),
      min_iterations = 100
    )
