I am looking for a command to</p>

character string (=needle) in a </b><b>vector</b><b> of
strings (=haystack), where needle may be a regular
expression</b><br>

<p class="refpurpose">Needle occurs only once in any line of
haystack. That may ease the problem.<br>

<pre><span class="default">[start, final, match] = </span><span class="functionid">regexp</span><span class="default">(input, pattern, 'r') is very close to it but does not accept a vector of strings as a haystack.
I hope to have overlooked something in my search. Is there such a command?
Vectorisation is essential here because otherwise the search is too slow for many lines (<10^6).</span></pre>

You may concatenate your input array with some gluing character that
you know is not in the strings (for instance, likely, ascii(10)),
and then use regexp() on the single glued result.<br>
