View source for Starts With


This function is an [[Advanced Text]] function in the UBot Extended Library. This function checks whether a string begins with specified text.

'''Text to check:''' The text being checked for the substring.

'''Substring to check:''' Substring being searched for.

Can also be a [[Set|variable]], [[$list item|list item]], [[Set Table Cell|table cell]] or any function.


== Example ==
<pre>
set(#sentence,"Watch these bite-sized sessions once you\'ve made your purchase. ","Global")
alert($starts with(#sentence,"Watch"))
</pre>


Running the script will return "True" if the substring is found or "False" if the substring is not found.

Since the sentence in the variable starts with the substring "Watch", the function returns with "True".
