Finding a substring within a list of strings in clojure

Question

I'd like to find if there is a substring in any of the strings in my list of strings. I have a list like '("hi" "hey" "hello"). Using "some" I can find if the value "hi" is in this list. But how could I find if just "h" was in at least one of the strings in the list?

something like this, i guess (some #(clojure.string/includes? % "h") ["hi" "hello" "hey"]) — leetwinski

Clojure solutions:

includes? from clojure.string

(some #(clojure.string/includes? % "h") (list "hi" "hello" "hey"))

contains via Java Interop

(some #(.contains % "h") (list "hi" "hello" "hey"))

ClojureScript solutions:

includes? from clojure.string (require clojure.string in ns form)

(ns my-app.core
  (:require [clojure.string :as string]))

(some #(string/includes? % "h") (list "hi" "hello" "hey"))

includes via JavaScript Interop

(some #(.includes % "h") (list "hi" "hello" "hey"))
