Selecting elements from lists based on string pattern












1












$begingroup$


I have a list:



lis = {{"abc", 1, 2}, {"cde", 3, 4}, {"fgbc", 5, 6}}


I would like to select list items that have first elements that end in the string "bc" to give:



res = {{1,2},{5,6}}


This is a variant on this question which has to do with strings only. Thank you as always for suggestions.

            This uses string matching on the first element of each sublist and then discards the first element from the matches.



            lis = {{"abc", 1, 2}, {"cde", 3, 4}, {"fgbc", 5, 6}};
            
Rest/@Select[lis,StringMatchQ[First[#],RegularExpression["\w*bc"]]&]
            

            
(* {{1, 2}, {5, 6}} *)


            You may need to adjust the pattern given to RegularExpression if your strings do not all begin with word characters.
