I don't see the string 'value' anywhere in your code (apart from as a substring of 'avalue'), and no operations on 'avalue' to strip off the leading 'a'. So the answer is no.

This is not the answer that you wanted though. There are many articles in the monastery about how to ask good questions. I suggest you read some of them.
