Description

• 

The IsSubSequence(s,t) command returns the value true if s is a subsequence of t and the value false otherwise.

• 

If s is the empty string, the command returns true.

• 

To test whether a string is a substring of another, use StringTools[Search].

• 

All of the StringTools package commands treat strings as (null-terminated) sequences of 8-bit (ASCII) characters.  Thus, there is no support for multibyte character encodings, such as unicode encodings.
