Iterating through Seq in Scala and find an element who satisfies the condition

Question

I am new to Scala and I have a Seq[String] - regex of regexes and I want to iterate through this sequence and if another string, let's call it id, matches at least one of the regexes from the string, to return true.

More clear: to iterate through all of the elements of regex and if (id.matches(regex)) for at least one, then return true, otherwise false).

Can I achieve this with the .map function or creating a find function? Thanks

Answer 1

You can use seq.exists(regex => id.matches(regex))
