string method

[July]

How do you detect a string's right 3 charaters, say
string "abcde". I'd like to detect if the right three
charaters are "cde", then proceeding doing something.
Anyone know which method shall I use? Thanx.

Using VB.NET
---------------
Dim myString As String = "Hello World!"
Dim subString As String
subString = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(myString, 6) '
Returns "World!"

Since we're talking .Net here, try String.EndsWith(string)

Hi

Given the fact that
a) VB.Net is completel;y objectoriented
b) Microsoft.Visualbasic namespace is given for backward
compatibility

suggest that u use the String Object props/methods like
length, substring instead of Functions like Right()

The following code sniper will do wat u want.
Watch for Line wraps

Right("abcde", 3) ' Will Return "cde"

Sub Right(ByVal p_strData As String, ByVal
p_intNoOfCharsToGet As Integer)
If Not p_strData Is Nothing AndAlso
p_strData.Length >= p_intNoOfCharsToGet Then
Console.WriteLine(p_strData.Substring
((p_strData.Length - p_intNoOfCharsToGet),
p_intNoOfCharsToGet))
End If
End Sub

regards,

sr

Doh! That'll teach me to not bother looking at the MSDN to see whether
there's a better way than using primitive tools such as Length, IndexOf
and Substring :)

try regular expressions
they can find just about anything and return the "other"
stuff as well
lots of examples

Use a combination of Substring and Length to get the

right 3characters, or (slightly more efficiently) use IndexOf and specify theposition to start looking as three characters from the end of thestring.
