I have a function which takes a list of prefixes the data from a select can start with. The list is of unknown size. I found that the contains function (db.mytable.myfield.contains('value')) can take a list instead of 'value'. When I try this with the startswith function ( db.mytable.myfield.contains('value')) I get an error. Is there any way I can get similar behaviour to contains but with startswith without moding web2py?
