Manipulation of strings

Hi! please is therer a skill function that allows me to check if a
given string begins with another given string?

I explain:

s="skill_function"
q="skill"
and i want to check that 's' contain 'q' at the beginning.

Nour, there are a variety of functions that will do what you want...
try looking at nindex and substring...

Hi,

I'd rather go for a regular expression for this request.
Something like:
rexMatchp(strcat("^" q) s)

Cheers,
Riad.
