StartsStr function

In unit StrUtils

Check whether one string starts with another.

Declaration

pascal
function StartsStr(const ASubText: string; const AText: string)
: Boolean

Description

StartsStr checks whether aText starts with aSubText and returns True if it does. i.e. it returns true if the first characters of aText are aSubText. It follows that the length of aText must be at least the length of aSubText. The comparison is made case-sensitive. If you wish to compare case-insentively, use StartsText instead.
