I am using C. I have a wchar_t pointer which pointing a a file path.
I was wondering, how I can check, whether it is ended with L".xls"?
Any function call I can use?

You are correct there ... `wchar_t *r = wcsstr(str, L".xls"); if (r )

@D.Shawley: Now it doesn't work for `file.xlsoap.xls` ;)

For precisely what caf mentioned, `wcsstr` is not the function needed here. If the string has a premature `.xls` in it, wcsstr returns info on that, instead of what's at the end of the string, which is what we're really interested in.

This answer is just plain wrong. You could put it in a for loop (`for (r=str; r r=wcsstr(str, L".xls"));` or such but when you could just do like the accepted answer, *why*?

A:
- Check that the string is at least 4 long
- See if the last 4
wchar_tare ".xls"
Thus, this should be it:
if(wcslen(str) >= 4 && wcscmp(str + wcslen(str) - 4, L".xls") == 0)
