Starts with Ignorecase 

Apache Commons Lang 3.0 is a java library with lot of utilities and reusable components. This requires the library commons-lang3-3.0.1.jar to be in classpath. The following example shows using StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase() API. It returns TRUE if the given char sequence starts with the specified string irrespective of the case.

package com.bethecoder.tutorials.commons_lang.tests.strings;

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

public class StartsWithIgnoreCaseTest {

  /**
   @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
         
    System.out.println(StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase(null, "be"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase("""be"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase("be the coder""be"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase("Java""ja"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase("BE THE CODER""be"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase("java""be"));
  }
