Question
Is there a StartsWith(str1, str2 string) function that can check if str1 is a prefix of str2 in Go language?
I want a function similar to the Java startsWith http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#startsWith(java.lang.String)
Solution
The strings package has what you are looking for. Specifically the HasPrefix function: http://golang.org/pkg/strings/#HasPrefix
Example:
fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("my string", "prefix")) // false
fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("my string", "my")) // true
That package is full of a lot of different string helper functions you should check out.
