How to return the List of strings from a List where String start with specified characters

Introduction

Return the List of strings from a List  where String start with specified characters. 

Background 

I got a requirement in project like I have list of strings in that I have to returns the list where a string starts with specified characters. Then I wrote one small utility. This utility i am sharing now. 

Using the code 

Here is the small utility to filter the list where string start with specified string.

        public static List<string> StartsWithStringContains(List<string> targerList, string filterStr)
        {
            var resultList = from resultValues in targerList
                             where
                                 (resultValues.StartsWith(filterStr))
                             select
                                 resultValues;

            return resultList.ToList();
        }

 Inputs “ targerList”

- List of strings where you want search, filterStr– Filter you

are expecting start with string.
 
For 
Example,   
 

  /* Define Target list where you want to apply the filter */
            List<string> targerList = new List<string> { "test", "test1", "test3", "fff" };

            List<string> resultList = StartsWithStringContains(targerList, "ff"); /* This function gives a result list where string start with "ff" */

Similar implementation to search for end's with string

    public static List<string> EndsWithStringContains(List<string> targerList, string filterStr)
        {

            var resultList = from resultValues in targerList
                          where (resultValues.EndsWith(filterStr))
                          select resultValues;

            return resultList.ToList();

        } 

Invoke it like bellow 

  /* Define Target list where you want to apply the filter */
            List<string> targerList = new List<string> { "test", "test1", "test3", "fff" };

            List<string> resultList = EndsWithStringContains(targerList, "ff"); /* This function gives a result list where string ends with "ff" */

Finally String matches in any position,

 public static List<string> StringContains(List<string> targerList, string filterStr)
        {
            var resultList = from resultValues in targerList
                             where
                                 (resultValues.Contains(filterStr))
                             select
                                 resultValues;

            return resultList.ToList();
        }

 namespace StringLib
 
{
 
    class Program
 
    {
 
        static void Main(string[] args)
 
        {
 
            List<string> strList = new List<string> { "test", "test1", "test3", "fff" };
 
            strList = StartsWithStringContains(strList, "te");
 
            foreach (string s in strList)
 
            {
 
                Console.WriteLine(s);
 
            }
 
            Console.Read();
 
            
 
        }
 
  public static List<string> StartsWithStringContains(List<string> targerList, string filterStr)
        {
            var resultList = from resultValues in targerList
                             where
                                 (resultValues.StartsWith(filterStr))
                             select
                                 resultValues;

            return resultList.ToList();
        }

        public static List<string> EndsWithStringContains(List<string> targerList, string filterStr)
        {

            var resultList = from resultValues in targerList
                          where (resultValues.EndsWith(filterStr))
                          select resultValues;

            return resultList.ToList();


        }

        public static List<string> StringContains(List<string> targerList, string filterStr)
        {
            var resultList = from resultValues in targerList
                             where
                                 (resultValues.Contains(filterStr))
                             select
                                 resultValues;

            return resultList.ToList();
        }

    }
