I have foo: String and bar: List<String>. What's a clever way to return true if foo starts with (or I guess contains works too) at least one string in bar?

[Joshua Hansen]

Obviously I can write a simple function for this, but I'm wondering if there's any cool kotlin library stuff. I can't seem to find anything that does exactly this

bar.any { it.startsWith(foo) }

Awesome, just what I was looking for. Thanks!

val fooInBar = bar.find { it.contains(foo) }?
