Java - String regionMatches() ignoreCase
Description
This method has two variants which can be used to test if two string regions are equal.
Syntax
Here is the syntax of this method −
public boolean regionMatches(boolean ignoreCase, int toffset, String other, int ooffset, int len)
Parameters
Here is the detail of parameters −
toffset − the starting offset of the subregion in this string.
other − the string argument.
ooffset − the starting offset of the subregion in the string argument.
len − the number of characters to compare.
ignoreCase − if true, ignore case when comparing characters.
Return Value
It returns true if the specified subregion of this string matches the specified subregion of the string argument; false otherwise. Whether the matching is exact or case insensitive depends on the ignoreCase argument.
Example
Live Demoimport java.io.*; public class Test { public static void main(String args[]) { String Str1 = new String("Welcome to Tutorialspoint.com"); String Str2 = new String("TUTORIALS"); System.out.print("Return Value :" ); System.out.println(Str1.regionMatches(true, 11, Str2, 0, 9)); } }
