title: "Like" condition instead of an "isin" in pandas
body: <p>I have a parameter dictionary as below -</p>
  
  <pre><code>paramDict = {
      "DataFilter": {
          "tableField": [{
              "table":"GL_LEDGERS",
              "field":"NAME"
          }],
          "value" : ["ABC."]
      }
  } 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I want to use a "like" instead of the "isin" condition so that the data gets filtered for "ABC" as well as "ABC." -</p>
  
  <pre><code>DataFilter = df['NAME'].isin(
      pd.Series(paramDict['DataFilter']['value']))
  df = df[DataFilter]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can you please help me with the same. I am using python 2.7. Thanks.</p>
