FIND - AWS Glue DataBrew

FIND

Searching left to right, finds strings that match a specified string from the source column or from a custom value, and returns the result in a new column.

Parameters
  • sourceColumn – The name of an existing column.

  • pattern – A regular expression to search for.

  • position – The character position to begin with, from the left end of the string.

  • ignoreCase – If true, ignore differences of case (between uppercase and lowercase) among letters. To enforce strict matching, use false instead.

  • targetColumn – The name of the new column to be created.

Example

{ "RecipeAction": { "Operation": "FIND", "Parameters": { "sourceColumn": "city", "pattern": "[AEIOU]", "position": "1", "ignoreCase": "false", "targetColumn": "begins_with_a_vowel" } } }
