Question

I have a string

var s1 = "a,$,b,c";

I want to check if another string ends with s1

So if I send these strings it has to return true

w,w,a,$,b,c
^,^,^,$,@,#,%,$,$,a,$,b,c
a,w,e,q,r,f,z,x,c,v,z,$,W,a,$,b,c

And for these false

a,$,b,c,F,W
a,$,b,c,W
a,$,b,c,$,^,\,/

How can I check it?

Answer 1

if (str.slice(-s1.length) == s1) { 
}

Or, less dynamically and more literally:

if (str.slice(-7) == s1) { 
}

Using a negative offset for slice() sets the starting point from the end of the string, minus the negative start – in this case, 7 characters (or s1.length) from the end.

slice() – MDC

Adding this to the string prototype is easy:

String.prototype.endsWith = function (str) {
    return this.slice(-str.length) === str;
}

alert("w,w,a,$,b,c".endsWith(s1));
// -> true
