endsWith - Check if a string ends with a given suffix

The endsWith function returns true if a given substring appears at the end of a string, and false if it does not.

Note

This is different from contains, which will check if a substring appears anywhere within a given string.

Syntax

Like many functions in DataPrime, endsWith supports two notations, function and method notation. These interchangeable forms allow flexibility in how you structure expressions.

Function notation

endsWith(string: string, suffix: string): bool

Method notation

string: string.endsWith(suffix: string): bool

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
string	string	true	The string to test
suffix	string	true	The suffix that will be tested against the end of the string

Example - Check if an IBM Cloud CRN refers to a known COS bucket

IBM Cloud CRNs look something like this: crn:v1:bluemix:public:cloud-object-storage:global:a/59bcbfa6ea2f006b4ed7094c1a08dcdd:1a0ec336-f391-4091-a6fb-5e084a4c56f4:bucket:mybucket

If we wish to check if this CDN refers to mybucket, we can check with endsWith

Function notation

create is_my_bucket from endsWith(crn, 'mybucket')

Method notation

create is_my_bucket from crn.endsWith('mybucket')

This will define a new boolean field indicating whether a given CRN value ends with mybucket.
