如何在 Ada 中检查字符串是否以另一个字符串开头或结尾？

Question

对于每种流行语言，这个问题都有规范的答案，尽管该答案通常归结为：“使用标准库中的 string.endsWith()”。对于 Ada，据我在固定字符串包的文档中找到，没有 string.endswith 函数。

那么，给定两个固定字符串 A 和 B，如何检查 A 是否以 B 结尾？

declare
   A : constant String := "John Johnson";
   B : constant String := "son";
begin
   if A.Ends_With(B) then -- this doesn't compile
      Put_Line ("Yay!");
   end if;
end

我的目的是为Ada建立一个标准答案。知道如何检查一个字符串是否以另一个字符串开头也很好。

Answer 1

function Ends_With (Source, Pattern : String) return Boolean is
begin
   return Pattern'Length <= Source'Length 
     and then Source (Source'Last - Pattern'Length + 1 .. Source'Last) = Pattern;
end Ends_With;

类似的 Starts_With 是：

function Starts_With (Source, Pattern : String) return Boolean is
begin
   return Pattern'Length <= Source'Length 
      and then Source (Source'First .. Source'First + Pattern'Length - 1) = Pattern;
end Starts_With;

Answer 2

main.adb

with Ada.Text_IO;       use Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Strings.Fixed; use Ada.Strings.Fixed;

procedure Main is

   A : constant String := "John Johnson";
   B : constant String := "son";

begin

   if Tail (A, B'Length) = B then
      Put_Line ("Yay!");
   end if;

end Main;

输出

$ ./main
Yay!

更新（2）

另一个更新（感谢@Brian Drummond 的评论；不过评论消失了），再次使用

Tail

。现在，这与 @Zerte 的答案几乎相同，除了对

Ada.Strings.Fixed

:

 的依赖之外

main.adb

with Ada.Text_IO;       use Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Strings.Fixed; use Ada.Strings.Fixed;
with Ada.Assertions;    use Ada.Assertions;

procedure Main is

   function Ends_With (Source, Pattern : String) return Boolean is
   begin
      return Source'Length >= Pattern'Length and then
        Tail (Source, Pattern'Length) = Pattern;
   end Ends_With;   

begin

   Assert (Ends_With ("John Johnson", "son")  = True);
   Assert (Ends_With ("hi", "longer than hi") = False);

   Assert (Ends_With (""  , ""  ) = True);
   Assert (Ends_With (" " , ""  ) = True);
   Assert (Ends_With (""  , " " ) = False);
   Assert (Ends_With (" " , " " ) = True);

   Assert (Ends_With ("n ", "n ") = True);
   Assert (Ends_With (" n", "n" ) = True);
   Assert (Ends_With ("n" , " n") = False);
   Assert (Ends_With (" n", " n") = True);

   Put_Line ("All OK.");

end Main;

输出

$ ./main
All OK.

Answer 3

with Ada.Assertions; use Ada.Assertions;
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;

procedure Main is
   function Ends_With(Source : String; Pattern : String) return Boolean is
      result : Boolean := False;
   begin
      if Pattern'Length <= Source'Length then
         if Pattern'Length > 0 then
            result := Source((Source'Last - Pattern'Length + 1)..Source'Last) = Pattern;
         else 
            result := True;
         end if;
      end if;
      return result;
   end Ends_With;

begin

   Assert (Ends_With ("John Johnson", "son") = True);


   Assert (Ends_With (""  , ""  ) = True);
   Assert (Ends_With (" " , ""  ) = True);
   Assert (Ends_With (""  , " " ) = False);
   Assert (Ends_With (" " , " " ) = True);   

   Assert (Ends_With (""  , "n" ) = False);
   Assert (Ends_With ("n"  , "" ) = True);

   Assert (Ends_With ("n ", "n ") = True);
   Assert (Ends_With (" n", "n" ) = True);
   Assert (Ends_With ("n" , " n") = False);
   Assert (Ends_With (" n", " n") = True);

   Put_Line("All OK");
end Main;

Answer 4

Jim 的答案

的稍微简化，这也有效：

   function Ends_With (Source, Pattern : String) return Boolean is
   begin
      if Pattern'Length > Source'Length then
         return False;
      else
         return Source (Source'Last - Pattern'Length + 1 .. Source'Last)
           = Pattern;
      end if;
   end Ends_With;

但是，更好（谢谢，Zerte），

function Ends_With (Source, Pattern : String) return Boolean is
  (Pattern'Length <= Source'Length and then
     Source (Source'Last - Pattern'Length + 1 .. Source'Last) = Pattern);
