CompareStringsNoCase Function

Overview

The CompareStringsNoCase function compares the value of the characters within two strings and returns a result as less than, equal to, or greater than. The comparison is performed without regard to text case.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = CompareStringsNoCase ( string a, string b );

Parameters

a

A string to compare.

b

A string to compare.

Return Value

Returns an int value as:

-1

if a < b

0

if a == b

1

if a > b

Remarks

The CompareStringsNoCase function combines the basic comparison operators (== < and >) to allow string comparison in a single operation. The function compares a and b on a character by character basis without regard to text case. Therefore, “dog” is equal to “DOg”. If all characters match up between the strings up to the matching terminating /0 character, the return result is 0. If any character mismatches, the comparison is stopped and -1 or 1 is returned depending on whether the character in a is less than the character at the same position in b.

The case comparison is performed using the ANSI/ISO-8859-1 character set. Strings made up of other character sets will not compare correctly.
