Hey folks,

Is there a way in vex to search for matching characters on a string? To clarify further, let's say I have a bunch of prims with an @path attribute that reads /foo/bar/box, /foo/bar/circle, /foo/bar/torus, etc

Now in a wrangle node, I'd like to parse through the string and see if the word “box” exists in @path.

Thanks!
