# abseil-string-find-startswith

Checks whether a `std::string::find()` result is compared with 0, and suggests replacing with `absl::StartsWith()`. This is both a readability and performance issue.

    string s = "...";
    if (s.find("Hello World") == 0) { /* do something */ }

becomes

    string s = "...";
    if (absl::StartsWith(s, "Hello World")) { /* do something */ }

## Options

`StringLikeClasses```

  Semicolon-separated list of names of string-like classes. By default only `std::basic_string` is considered. The list of methods to considered is fixed.

`IncludeStyle```

  A string specifying which include-style is used, llvm or google. Default is llvm.

`AbseilStringsMatchHeader```

  The location of Abseil’s `strings/match.h`. Defaults to `absl/strings/match.h`.
