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.

Text to check: Substring being searched for.

Can also be a variable, list item, table cell or any function.

Example

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

Running the script will return a "True" or "False" if the substring is found.

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

set(#sampletext,"five thousand","Global")
alert($is number(#sampletext))

Since the variable in this example contains no numbers, the alert produces the output "False".
