I have many nested collections with some suffixes as below

[Main Collection 1]

-[Sub Collection 1]

--[Sub Collection 1 ON]

--[Sub Collection 1 OFF]

-[Sub Collection 2]

--[Sub Collection 2 ON]

--[Sub Collection 2 OFF]

I need a script that finds all the collections that are ending with -ON- and turn their render visibility off, and then finds all the collections that are ending with -OFF- and turn their visibility on.

You can use the collection's property hide_render to toggle render visibility

enter image description here

import bpy

OFF = False

def contains_word(s, w):
    return (' ' + w + ' ') in (' ' + s + ' ')

for c in bpy.data.collections:
    if contains_word(c.name, "ON"):
        c.hide_render = OFF
    elif contains_word(c.name, "OFF"):
        c.hide_render = not OFF
