daniel,

would this be the same as starts_with("$rU", "123")?  if so, i suspect
that starts_with would be even faster.
perhaps starts_with() is faster for this case.


if i write

if(fnmatch("$rU", "*123")) ...

would match require that $rU ends with 123?
yes. Practically fnmatch uses the shell-like pattern matching, which is used for example with 'ls' command. You can have wildcards like * or ? at any position in the value, not only start or end. fnmatch is present as operator for quite long time in avpops/avp_check() and might be handy when needing to do such simple matching instead of using full regexp.

Cheers,
Daniel
