Usage

EnsureEndsWith

using System;

string path = "C:\\Users\\Documents";
string result = path.EnsureEndsWith("\\"); 
// Result: "C:\\Users\\Documents\\"

string url = "https://example.com/";
string result2 = url.EnsureEndsWith("/");
// Result: "https://example.com/" (unchanged, already ends with "/")

// Case-insensitive comparison
string text = "Hello";
string result3 = text.EnsureEndsWith("WORLD", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
// Result: "HelloWORLD"

Parameters:

• value (string): The string to check

string path = "Documents\\file.txt";
string result = path.EnsureStartsWith("C:\\");
// Result: "C:\\Documents\\file.txt"

string url = "example.com";
string result2 = url.EnsureStartsWith("https://");
// Result: "https://example.com"

// Case-insensitive comparison
