UKismetStringLibrary::StartsWith
#include "Kismet/KismetStringLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Tests whether a string begins with the given prefix. Commonly used to check console command names, asset path prefixes, or tag conventions.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • The SearchCase parameter is not exposed as a Blueprint pin at all — Blueprint callers always get case-insensitive matching.
- • An empty InPrefix always returns true, since every string starts with an empty prefix.
