How to use string.Endswith to test for multiple endings?
Although a simple example like that is probably good enough using ||
, you can also use Regex for it:
if (Regex.IsMatch(mystring, @"[-+*/]$")) {
...
}
How about:-
string input = .....;
string[] matches = { ...... whatever ...... };
foreach (string match in matches)
{
if (input.EndsWith(match))
return true;
}
I know it is dreadfully old school to avoid LINQ in this context, but one day you will need to read this code. I am absolutely sure that LINQ has its uses (maybe i'll find them one day) but i am quite sure it is not meant to replace the four lines of code above.
string s = "Hello World +";
string endChars = "+-*/";
Using a function:
private bool EndsWithAny(string s, params char[] chars)
{
foreach (char c in chars)
{
if (s.EndsWith(c.ToString()))
return true;
}
return false;
}
bool endsWithAny = EndsWithAny(s, endChars.ToCharArray()); //use an array
bool endsWithAny = EndsWithAny(s, '*', '/', '+', '-'); //or this syntax
Using LINQ:
bool endsWithAny = endChars.Contains(s.Last());
Using TrimEnd:
bool endsWithAny = s.TrimEnd(endChars.ToCharArray()).Length < s.Length;
// als possible s.TrimEnd(endChars.ToCharArray()) != s;
If you are using .NET 3.5 (and above) then it is quite easy with LINQ:
string test = "foo+";
string[] operators = { "+", "-", "*", "/" };
bool result = operators.Any(x => test.EndsWith(x));
