[Aassdd]

Is there a command like StringInStr but to check if a string starts with something?

StringLeft()

StringRegExp()

$i = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
if StringLeft($i, 3) = "abc" Then
MsgBox(0, "Result", "String started with abc")
EndIf

Hi,

or build your own udfs

Global $string = 'Hello World'
If _StringStartsWith($string, 'hel') Then ConsoleWrite("OK(1)" & @CRLF)
If _StringStartsWith($string, 'Hel', 1) Then ConsoleWrite("OK(2)" & @CRLF)
If _StringStartsWith($string, '1Hel') Then ConsoleWrite("1" & @CRLF)

Func _StringStartsWith($string, $start, $case = 0)
    If StringLen($start) > StringLen($string) Then Return -1
    If $case > 0 Then
        If StringLeft($string, StringLen($start)) == $start Then Return 1
    Else
        If StringLeft($string, StringLen($start)) = $start Then Return 1
    EndIf
    Return 0
EndFunc   ;==>_StringStartsWith

Thank you, another question, how can I delete the character from a string?
