use substring  and the string length of the string being matched... one 
subtraction is all it takes.

At 01:05 PM 3/2/00 -0500, you wrote:

&gt;I've noticed match_begin to match incomplete arguments to a string, but 
&gt;only at the beginning of the string. Example: match_begin("insanity", 
&gt;"ins") would return true.
&gt;
&gt;Is there any matching that matches incomplete arguments to a string, but 
&gt;at the end? Something like match_end("insanity", "ity")? Thanks
