If you need to check manually, you should normalize the asset names using [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Utilities#File paths|<tt>PathUtilities</tt>]] and compare case-insensitively. For example:

<source lang="c#">

string dialoguePrefix = PathUtilities.NormalizePathSeparators(@"Characters\Dialogue\");

string dialoguePrefix = PathUtilities.NormalizePath(@"Characters\Dialogue\");

bool isDialogue = asset.AssetName.StartsWith(dialoguePrefix, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

bool isDialogue = asset.AssetName.StartsWith(dialoguePrefix, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
