pyarrow.compute.starts_with

pyarrow.compute.starts_with(strings, /, pattern, *, ignore_case=False, options=None, memory_pool=None)

Check if strings start with a literal pattern.

For each string in strings, emit true iff it starts with a given pattern. The pattern must be given in MatchSubstringOptions. If ignore_case is set, only simple case folding is performed.

Null inputs emit null.

Parameters
