If you want to check equality, equal operator = should be enough.

Depending on your case behind question, please utilize Contains, Regex_Match...anything you want.

Thanks ! But do you have any other solutions to consider both values are same . Example If we use same condition in MS SQL then We can use Like operator .

Please note that LIKE statement in SQL does not mean same, but fuzzy matching actually. If you want to do fuzzy matching, appropriate choice would be a regular expression.

I have two outputs unitravelz1@gmail.com , JONWAL.BOY@GMAIL.COM and applied the condition Contains([RH_EMAIL_ID], '.com') according the condition unitravelz1@gmail.com should be true , JONWAL.BOY@GMAIL.COM should be false

@tarun_kumar10 the contains function is not case sensitive so it views .com and .COM as the same thing

@tarun_kumar10 you can make Contains() case sensitive by adding ,0 to the end of it:
