string question

[Howard]

Hello, I'm new to c$
I need help writing a function that matches a word only if the word is
at the end of a string
example:
string a = "I like google";
string b = "google I like";
string a would return true, b would return false

secondly i need to write a function that checks if the length of my
strings is less or equal to 20 characters. if more than 20 chars then
remove the extra ones.

Thanks,

Howard

Very funny, posting a VB answer for C# homework :-)

Not to mention, it's not really quite the correct answer, as the second
function will throw an error if the word is shorter then Count...

There's already a method which does that: string.EndsWith .
secondly i need to write a function that checks if the length of my
strings is less or equal to 20 characters. if more than 20 chars then
remove the extra ones.

Use the Length property and the Substring method (both of the string
type).

Well funny if you don't realize that the .net framework trancends VB, C# and
C++

For C# it is nearly the same as VB:

And since im lazy this is word for word from MSDN

StartsWith:

[Visual Basic]
Dim MyString As String = "Hello World"
Console.WriteLi ne(MyString.Sta rtsWith("Hello" ))
[C#]
string MyString = "Hello World";
Console.WriteLi ne(MyString.Sta rtsWith("Hello" ));

EndsWith:

[Visual Basic]
Dim MyString As String = "Hello World"
Console.WriteLi ne(MyString.End sWith("Hello"))
[C#]
string MyString = "Hello World";
Console.WriteLi ne(MyString.End sWith("Hello")) ;

Now i'm sure you can figure it out from this point LOL
But if you have to do it programmaticall y on your own then get the length of
the word to test for and skip back that much in the string to test in and
see if it compares true, might want to trim spaces at end, don't know how in
depth it needs to be...

[C#]
string MyString = "Hello World";
Console.WriteLi ne(MyString.End sWith("Hello")) ;

w00ps :)

public bool AtEndOfString(s tring Text, string Word)
{
return Text.EndsWith(W ord);
}

public string GetBeginningOfS tring(string Text, int Count)
{
if (Text != string.Empty && Text != null && Text.Length >= Count) {

return Text;
}

Sorry about the reply in VB.Net, I'm stuck on VB today :) Oh yeah, this was
off top of my head, so it's not tested :)

In order to check to see if a string ends with a given substring, simply use
the EndsWith() function... to base it off if your example...

a.EndsWith("goo gle") would return true, while b.EndsWith("goo gle") would
return false.

As for the second bit of truncating a string to be at most 20 characters,
you can use something like:

string LimitString(str ing str)
{
if( str.Length <= 20)
{
return str;
}

return str.Substring(0 ,20);
}

Which checks the length of the string (although does not check for it being
null) and returns at most the left 20 characters of it.

these are more powerfull
