startsWith( )

boolean startsWith(String prefix)
Tests if this string starts with the specified prefix.
boolean startsWith(String prefix, int toffset)
Tests if the substring of this string beginning at the specified index starts with the specified prefix.

A second form of startsWith( ) lets you specify a starting point:


boolean startsWith(String str, int startIndex)

startIndex is the index to start with. For example,

 
public class Main{
   public static void main(String[] argv){
      System.out.println("Foobar".startsWith("bar", 3));
    }
}

true
