Golang : How to detect if a sentence ends with a punctuation?
Problem : I need to detect if a line ends with a punctuation mark or not. How to do that?
Solution : In Golang, a string is also a slice, get the last character out from the sentence, convert the string to rune and use unicode.IsPunct()
function to check if the last character is a punctuation or not.
Here you go!
package main
import (
"log"
"unicode"
)
func main() {
//str := "this is a line with fullstop."
str := "this is a line with without fullstop"
lastChar := str[len(str)-1:]
lastCharRune := []rune(lastChar)
if unicode.IsPunct(lastCharRune[0]) { // this is how to convert string to rune ;-)
log.Println("lastChar is a punctuation :", lastChar)
} else {
log.Println("lastChar is not a punctuation :", lastChar)
}
}
Happy coding!
