The Python language has useful string methods to search for prefixes and suffixes:
my_string.startswith('pre')The same thing can be achieved in Javascript using the rather powerful search and replace methods.
Right - thought I’d post some actual code as proof of actual development.
I wrote the first version of my CMS back-end in PHP, and sent data to a Javascript front-end using JSON. This was fantastically fast and simple - the string only need be checked for dangerous syntax, and then eval-ed and it becomes Javascript objects ready to use. The pot-noodle of data formats.
