Parameters

source: String

The string to search in.

Examples

The following example determines whether a string is the prefix or suffix of another string.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Defines the strings to compare.
   String^ myStr1 = "calle";
   String^ myStr2 = "llegar";
   String^ myXfix = "lle";
   
   // Uses the CompareInfo property of the InvariantCulture.
   CompareInfo^ myComp = CultureInfo::InvariantCulture->CompareInfo;
   
   // Determines whether myXfix is a prefix of S"calle" and S"llegar".
   Console::WriteLine( "IsPrefix( {0}, {1}) : {2}", myStr1, myXfix, myComp->IsPrefix( myStr1, myXfix ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "IsPrefix( {0}, {1}) : {2}", myStr2, myXfix, myComp->IsPrefix( myStr2, myXfix ) );
   
   // Determines whether myXfix is a suffix of S"calle" and S"llegar".

'IsPrefix( llegar, lle ) : True
'IsSuffix( calle, lle ) : True
'IsSuffix( llegar, lle ) : False

Remarks

Every string starts and ends with an empty substring (""); therefore, if prefix is an empty string, this method returns true.

Note

When possible, you should call string comparison methods that have a parameter of type CompareOptions to specify the kind of comparison expected. As a general rule, use linguistic options (using the current culture) for comparing strings displayed in the user interface and specify CompareOptions.Ordinal or CompareOptions.OrdinalIgnoreCase for security comparisons.

Public Function IsPrefix (source As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char), prefix As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char), options As CompareOptions, ByRef matchLength As Integer) As Boolean

Parameters

source: ReadOnlySpan<Char>

The read-only span of characters to search within.

prefix: ReadOnlySpan<Char>

The read-only span of characters containing the prefix to attempt to match at the start of source.

options: CompareOptions

The CompareOptions to use during the match.

matchLength: Int32

When this method returns, contains the number of characters of source that matched the desired prefix. This may be different than the length of prefix if a linguistic comparison is performed. Set to 0 if the prefix did not match.

Returns

Boolean

true if prefix occurs at the start of source; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

options contains an unsupported combination of flags.

Remarks

This method has greater overhead than other IsPrefix(String, String, CompareOptions) overloads that don't take a matchLength argument. Call this overload only if you require the match length information.
