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(int toffset,
String other,
int ooffset,
int len)
or
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:
import java.io.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
String Str1 = new String("Welcome to www.dineshonjava.com");
String Str2 = new String("dineshon");
String Str3 = new String("DINESHON");
System.out.print("Return Value :" );
System.out.println(Str1.regionMatches(11, Str2, 0, 9));
System.out.print("Return Value :" );
System.out.println(Str1.regionMatches(11, Str3, 0, 9));
System.out.print("Return Value :" );
System.out.println(Str1.regionMatches(true, 11, Str3, 0, 9));
}
}
This produces following result:
output:
Return Value :false
Return Value :false
Return Value :false
