Hello All,

How to check a string ends with a particular string in extendscript? Where can I find the string api?

Premiere Pro Version: 12.0.0
Extension Type: Panel

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Meet,

you mean like typing "String." in ExtendScript Toolkit CC, revealing the String methods?

You could use .substr with a negative offset (ex.: substr(-8,8) returning the last 8 characters of the string), or .match and use a regular expression like /[.]*edit/ , returning true if the string ends with "edit".

Best,

Erik

Hi Meet,

You can also add this function to your script :

String.prototype.endsWith = function( str ) {

    return this.substring( this.length - str.length, this.length ) === str;

  };

And then use it as a string method.

var a = "Hello Meet";

a.endsWith("Meet") --> will return true.

Cheers,

Peleg
