CompareInfo.IsSuffix Method

Definition

Namespace:
System.Globalization
Assemblies:
System.Globalization.dll, mscorlib.dll, netstandard.dll, System.Runtime.dll

Determines whether a string ends with a specific suffix.

Overloads

IsSuffix(String, String)

Determines whether the specified source string ends with the specified suffix.
IsSuffix(String, String, CompareOptions)

Determines whether the specified source string ends with the specified suffix using the specified CompareOptions value.

IsSuffix(String, String)

Determines whether the specified source string ends with the specified suffix.

public:
 virtual bool IsSuffix(System::String ^ source, System::String ^ suffix);
public virtual bool IsSuffix (string source, string suffix);
abstract member IsSuffix : string * string -> bool
override this.IsSuffix : string * string -> bool
Public Overridable Function IsSuffix (source As String, suffix As String) As Boolean

Parameters

source
String

The string to search in.

suffix
String

The string to compare with the end of source.

Returns

Boolean

true if the length of suffix is less than or equal to the length of source and source ends with suffix; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source is null.

-or-

suffix is null.

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".
   Console::WriteLine( "IsSuffix( {0}, {1}) : {2}", myStr1, myXfix, myComp->IsSuffix( myStr1, myXfix ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "IsSuffix( {0}, {1}) : {2}", myStr2, myXfix, myComp->IsSuffix( myStr2, myXfix ) );
}

Remarks

Every string starts and ends with an empty substring (""); therefore, if suffix 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.

IsSuffix(String, String, CompareOptions)

Determines whether the specified source string ends with the specified suffix using the specified CompareOptions value.

public:
 virtual bool IsSuffix(System::String ^ source, System::String ^ suffix, System::Globalization::CompareOptions options);
public virtual bool IsSuffix (string source, string suffix, System.Globalization.CompareOptions options);
abstract member IsSuffix : string * string * System.Globalization.CompareOptions -> bool
override this.IsSuffix : string * string * System.Globalization.CompareOptions -> bool
Public Overridable Function IsSuffix (source As String, suffix As String, options As CompareOptions) As Boolean

Parameters

source
String

The string to search in.

suffix
String

The string to compare with the end of source.

options
CompareOptions

A value that defines how source and suffix should be compared. options is either the enumeration value Ordinal used by itself, or the bitwise combination of one or more of the following values: IgnoreCase, IgnoreSymbols, IgnoreNonSpace, IgnoreWidth, and IgnoreKanaType.

Returns

Boolean

true if the length of suffix is less than or equal to the length of source and source ends with suffix; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source is null.

-or-

suffix is null.

ArgumentException

options contains an invalid CompareOptions value.

Examples

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

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Defines the strings to compare.
   String^ myStr1 = "calle";
