fn:ends-with(string $term, string? $searchString, string $collation) => boolean

Description

This function checks whether the value of $string ends with the value of $searchString according to the collation used. It returns true if it is found and false if not. If the value of $string or $searchString is the empty sequence, the function returns the empty sequence. If the value of $searchString is the empty string, then the function returns "true". If the value of $string is the empty string and the value of $searchString is a non-empty string, the function returns "false".

You can use an optional collation argument.

Arguments

$term	string value
$searchString	string value that is searched for in $string
$collation	optional valid collation string literal

Example

• Does "Tamino" end with "ino" ?

  ends-with("Tamino", "ino")

  The function returns true, since "ino" obviously appears at the end of "Tamino".
