Hi,
let me take the chance to announce the new version 0.4 of the
"string_utils" package:
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/gretl/cgi-bin/current_fnfiles/string_utils.gfn
It now includes two new functions names strstarts() and strends() which
may be useful to some of you. These functions check whether a string
starts (ends) with a specific string.
Best,
Artur
