PowerShell Basics: Detecting if a String Ends with a Certain Character

Using Windows PowerShell 5.1, EndsWith() and -like are almost twice as fast as RegEx, across 100,000 iterations each (using the code below). TheDammedGamer

RegEx method: 295 ms
EndsWith method: 189 ms
Like method: 160 ms

using namespace System.Diagnostics

$stopwatch = [Stopwatch]::StartNew();
for ($i = 0; $i -lt 100000; $i++) {
    $boolValue = 'something\' -match '\\$'
}
"RegEx method: $($stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds) ms "

$stopwatch = [Stopwatch]::StartNew();
for ($i = 0; $i -lt 100000; $i++) {
    $boolValue = 'something\'.EndsWith('\')
}
"EndsWith method: $($stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds) ms "

$stopwatch = [Stopwatch]::StartNew();
for ($i = 0; $i -lt 100000; $i++) {
    $boolValue = 'something\' -like '*\'
}
"Like method: $($stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds) ms "
