One of the possible start string for thisString.

stringComparison StringComparison

One of the enumeration values that determines how this string is compared to value.

Returns

bool

StartsWithAny(string, string, string, StringComparison)

Gets a value indicating whether this string starts with any of the strings specified.

public static bool StartsWithAny(this string thisString, string str0, string str1, StringComparison stringComparison)

Parameters

thisString string

This string.

str0 string

One of the possible start string for thisString.

str1 string

One of the possible start string for thisString.

stringComparison StringComparison

One of the enumeration values that determines how this string is compared to value.

Returns

bool

StartsWithAny(string, params string[])

Gets a value indicating whether this string starts with case sensitive any of the strings in array.

public static bool StartsWithAny(this string thisString, params string[] array)

Parameters

thisString string

This string.

array string[]

An array containing possible start strings for thisString.

Returns

bool

Exceptions

NullReferenceException

null string reference in array not accepted.

StartsWithAny(string, string[], StringComparison)

Gets a value indicating whether this string starts with any of the strings specified.

public static bool StartsWithAny(this string thisString, string[] array, StringComparison stringComparison)

Parameters

thisString string

This string.

array string[]

An array containing possible values for start of thisString.

stringComparison StringComparison

One of the enumeration values that determines how this string is compared to value.

Returns

bool

ToCompressedBase64Url(string)

Compresses this string into a compact token made only of the characters A-Z a-z 0-9 - _: its UTF-8 bytes (no BOM) are compressed with Deflate, then encoded in base64url (RFC 4648 §5) without padding.

public static string ToCompressedBase64Url(this string thisString)

Parameters

thisString string

This string, can be empty.

Returns

string

The compressed base64url token, empty when this string is empty.

Remarks

The token needs no quoting or escaping on any command line, shell or operating system — quotes, line breaks and non-ASCII characters of this string included. Decode it with TryDecompressFromBase64Url(string, out string). The output is always encoded, even when it is longer than this string.

TryDecompressFromBase64Url(string, out string)

Decompresses a token produced by ToCompressedBase64Url(string) back into the original string.

public static bool TryDecompressFromBase64Url(this string thisString, out string decoded)

Parameters

thisString string

The compressed base64url token, can be empty.

decoded string

The original string, empty when the method returns false.

Returns

bool

true if this token has been decoded, else false.

Remarks

Never throws: a token holding a character outside A-Z a-z 0-9 - _, truncated, not Deflate-compressed or not decoding to valid UTF-8 makes the method return false.
