How to filter a data frame where only part of the string matches any item in a vector

I want to filter my data frame based on whether one column contains text that appears in a vector. The string in each cell of the column is quite long, and I only need the vector item to appear within the string.

I can do this for a single reference e.g.

library(dplyr)
starwars %>%
  filter(grepl("at", name))

But what if I want to use a vector of references?

attributes = c("at", "oo", "un")

>Solution :

Use paste with collapse = "|" to detect multiple patterns.

attributes = c("at", "oo", "un")
#paste(attributes, collapse = "|")
#[1] "at|oo|un"

starwars %>%
  filter(grepl(paste(attributes, collapse = "|"), name))

Another way, if you don’t want to go by paste:

starwars %>%
  filter(sapply(name, \(x) any(sapply(attributes, str_detect, string = x))))
