StringEndsQ

StringEndsQ["string",patt]

yields True if the end of "string" matches the string expression patt, and yields False otherwise.

StringEndsQ["string",{patt1,patt2,…}]

yields True if the end of "string" matches any of the patti.

StringEndsQ[{"string1","string2",…},patt]

gives a list of the results for each of the "stringi".

StringEndsQ[patt]

represents an operator form of StringEndsQ that can be applied to an expression.

Details and Options

  • The string expression patt can contain any of the objects specified in the notes for StringExpression.
  • Setting the option IgnoreCase->True makes StringEndsQ treat lowercase and uppercase letters as equivalent.
  • StringEndsQ[patt][expr] is equivalent to StringEndsQ[expr,patt].
  • StringEndsQ[BioSequence["type","seq"],patt] checks the end of the string "seq" against patt. In this case, degenerate letters in patt are interpreted as wildcard patterns based on the type of biomolecular sequence. Use Verbatim["patt"] to match degenerate letters literally.
  • The documentation for BioSequence lists the degenerate letters supported by each type of biomolecular sequence.
  • StringEndsQ has no special behavior for circular biomolecular sequences, but instead interprets the end of the string as the designated end of the sequence.

Basic Examples  (4)

Check that a string ends with a given suffix:

Give a list of strings as input:

Specify a suffix using a string pattern:

Use the operator form of StringEndsQ:

Use the operator form to select strings:

Scope  (9)

Use string patterns:

Use a regular expression:

Mix regular expressions and string patterns:

Use pattern matching for dates:

Test for occurrences of either pattern:

StringEnds automatically threads over lists of strings:

Check whether a biomolecular sequence ends in a particular substring:

Use a wildcard in the pattern compared against a biomolecular sequence:

The "S" is a degenerate letter only in biomolecular sequences:

Check for literal degenerate letters using Verbatim:

Options  (2)

IgnoreCase  (2)

Use IgnoreCaseTrue to check for the presence of substrings regardless of case:

The operator representation of a case-independent check:

Properties & Relations  (8)

StringEndsQ threads over lists of strings in the first argument:

StringEndsQ["string",{patt1,patt2,…}] is equivalent to StringEndsQ["string",Alternatives[patt1,patt2,…]]:

StringStartsQ checks whether a prefix matches a pattern:

StringEndsQ checks whether a suffix matches a pattern:

Use StringMatchQ to check whether a whole string matches a pattern:

StringEndsQ checks whether a suffix matches a pattern:

StringEndsQ returns True whenever StringMatchQ is True:

StringEndsQ["string",patt] is equivalent to StringMatchQ["string",___~~patt~~EndOfString]:

StringEndsQ["string",patt] is equivalent to StringContainsQ["string",patt~~EndOfString]:

Get the starting and ending positions where a prefix occurs by using StringPosition:

Use StringCases to extract prefixes matching a given pattern:
