EndsWith (String function)

Is the end string the terminal substring of the method object string? (String class)

[Introduced in Model 204 7.8 βeta]

EndsWith can be used to check whether one string ends with another.

Syntax

%boolean = string:EndsWith( endString)

Syntax terms

%boolean	The Boolean result is True if endString is the same as the terminal characters of string.
string	The method object string whose terminal characters are compared with endString.
endString	A string which is compared with the terminal characters of string.

Usage notes

• If endString is a null (zero-length) string, EndsWith returns True.
• endString must be longer than 255 bytes. A longer endString results in request cancellation.

Examples

The following fragment:

printText {~= "abcdefg":endsWith("")} printText {~= "abcdefg":endsWith("abcdefg")} printText {~= "abcdefg":endsWith("xabcdefg")} printText {~= "abcdefg":endsWith("def")}

produces the following output:

"abcdefg":endsWith("")= True "abcdefg":endsWith("abcdefg")= True "abcdefg":endsWith("xabcdefg")= False "abcdefg":endsWith("def")= False
