Can anyone help me adapt the below which creates a set of <LI> elements with custom taxonomy categories created in a custom post type I have. What I want to achieve is to only list the 'project-type' results which match a defined value.

So, I only want the <LI> to be listed if the 'project-type' value includes 'sector1' in the its name.

So, the 'project-type' names could be "sector1-subsector1", "sector1-subsector2", "sector2-subsector1" - from these only 2 would be listed as an <LI> - e.g. where the start of the name includes "sector1".

<?php
$terms = get_terms('project-type');
foreach ($terms as  $term) { ?>
<li data-filter=".<?php  echo $term->slug; ?>"><?php echo $term->name; ?></li>
<?php  } ?>

This worked for me:

<?php
$terms = get_terms('project-type');
foreach ($terms as  $term) { 

if(strpos($term->slug, 'sector1-') !== false){
?>
<li data-filter=".<?php  echo $term->slug; ?>"><?php echo $term->name; ?>
<?php
}
?>

</li>
<?php  } ?>

    Note that unless if you're still using WordPress prior to v4.5.0, you should use get_terms( array( 'taxonomy' => 'project-type' ) ), i.e. pass an array of arguments to the function. See the get_terms() documentation for more details. And your question was actually a PHP question, so you should've instead searched or asked on Stack Overflow, e.g. "how to check in PHP if a string contains a certain text, e.g. if sector1-subsector1 contains sector1".
