skipOver

Array-specialization of skipOver with default predicate.

bool skipOver(inout(T)[] haystack, T[] needle)
@trusted
bool
skipOver
(
T
)
(
scope ref inout(T)[] haystack
,
scope const T[] needle
)
bool skipOver(inout(T)[] haystack, T needle)
bool startsWith(T[] haystack, T[] needle)
bool startsWith(T[] haystack, T needle)

Examples

string x = "beta version";
assert(x.skipOver("beta"));
assert(x == " version");
assert(x.skipOver(' '));
assert(x == "version");
assert(!x.skipOver("_"));
assert(x == "version");
assert(!x.skipOver('_'));
assert(x == "version");

constness of haystack and needle

{
	const(char)[] haystack;
	string needle;
	assert(haystack.skipOver(needle));
}
{
	const(char)[] haystack;
	const(char)[] needle;
	assert(haystack.skipOver(needle));
}
{
	const(char)[] haystack;
	char[] needle;
	assert(haystack.skipOver(needle));
}
