How can I compare a slice and an array or string?

[hot bridge]

var data: []u8 = ...;
if (data[i .. (i + 1)] == "</") {
  ...
}

a 1 character and 2 character string can never match

did you mean if (std.mem.eql(u8, data[i..][0..2], "</")), or if you aren't sure data.len >= i + 2, you can do if (std.mem.startsWith(u8, data[i..], "</")) instead

Thanks.

The way slices work here is cool.

Is the range exclusive on the upper bound?

yes
