condition
condition
Result of whether the input string starts with the specified characters

True when the string form of value begins with the string form of startswith, case-sensitive. False whenever EITHER input is falsy before comparison - nil, missing, empty string, 0, or false - so an empty prefix never matches. Example: value="Abc" startswith="abc" -> false.

A typical wiring for starts with: value feeds the value pin; value feeds the startswith pin; the condition out pin feeds OR.
