Check if string ends with certain pattern

Question

If I have a string like:

This.is.a.great.place.too.work.

or:

This/is/a/great/place/too/work/

than my prog

Answer 1

This is really simple, the String object has an endsWith method.

From your question it seems like you want either /, , or . as the delimiter set.

So:

String str = "This.is.a.great.place.to.work.";

if (str.endsWith(".work.") || str.endsWith("/work/") || str.endsWith(",work,"))
     // ... 

You can also do this with the matches method and a fairly simple regex:

if (str.matches(".*([.,/])work\\1$"))

Using the character class [.,/] specifying either a period, a slash, or a comma, and a backreference, \1 that matches whichever of the alternates were found, if any.
