Try this: val tocks = Array("EC-17A5206955089011B","EC-17A5206955089011A")
val rddAll = sc.parallelize(List("This contains EC-17A5206955089011B","This doesnt")) rddAll.filter(line => { var found = false for(item <- tocks){ if(line.contains(item)) found = true } found }).collect() Output: res8: Array[String] = Array(This contains EC-17A5206955089011B) Thanks Best Regards On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 3:25 PM, prachicsa <prachi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I am very new to Spark. > > I have a very basic question.
