Poor support for Javascript String functions in ExtendScript?

[Heimdaal]

The differences between JS and JSX is really annoying when developing panels, as some things work for one language and not for the other.
I just noticed that the endsWith() -string function doesn't work in JSX. I'm trying to check if a layer name ends with a special character, like this:

alert("lolk_".endsWith("_"));

This will halt script execution. Cmon! Do I really need to use a regex for super simple things like this? It's ridiculus!

Voted!

But you probably noticed that the number of votes is not particularly large for Photoshop standards so …

I wouldn't certainly hold my breath waiting for modern JS to be implemented in ExtendScript (my bet is that we'll never get there) – you're better off using shims. There's also a new project that you might want to try here.
