Syntax

tf = endsWith(str, suffix)

tf = endsWith(str, suffix, 'IgnoreCase', true)

Description

The test is case sensitive by default. An empty suffix always matches. It is the usual way to select files by extension: endsWith(names, '.m').

The counterpart for the beginning of the text is startsWith.

Input arguments

str

Character vector, string array or cell array of character vectors.

suffix

Text, a list of text (true if any matches), or a pattern.

'IgnoreCase'

Logical, default false.

Output arguments

tf

Logical array with the size of str.

endsWith("File.M", ".m", 'IgnoreCase', true)
endsWith('abc123', digitsPattern)
