Combining `where` and `like` statements by using the CI activerecords

Question

To cut a long story short: Is it possible and if it is - how can I build a query that looks somewhat like this one

SELECT * FROM a
    WHERE row = 1 AND

Why dont you try this:

    $this->db->where("row = 1 AND 
        (other_row LIKE '%..%' OR another_row LIKE '%..%')");
$this->db->get('a');

It's how you can write custom WHERE in CI. If it is not what u r looking for, feel free to explain
