By coding your script in this fashion, you can already achieve
something very close to what you want. Try running this script for an
example:
-- MyScript.PowerPro
Win.Debug([EMAIL PROTECTED]("abcde", "abc")) ;; true
Win.Debug([EMAIL PROTECTED]("abcde", "cde")) ;; false
Win.Debug([EMAIL PROTECTED]("abcde", "abc")) ;; true
Win.Debug([EMAIL PROTECTED]("abcde", "cde")) ;; false
Quit ;; this line is important to have before the next lines
@StartsWith
Quit(Index(Arg(1), Arg(2)) == 1)
@EndsWith
Local Arg2Loc = RevIndex(Arg(1), Arg(2))
; -- all on one line below
Quit(IfElse(Arg2Loc, Arg2Loc == (Length(Arg(1)) - Length(Arg(2)) + 1), 0))
; -- all on one line above
