Arguments
string1
First string to compare.string2
Second string to compare.length
Optional. Number of characters to compare. By default the full lengths of the strings will be compared; shorter strings will be considered to be less than longer strings.flags
Optional. The optional flags are:| c | Consider case when performing the comparison (case-sensitive) |
Return value
Returns 0 if the strings are the same, < 0 if string1 is less than string2, and > 0 if string1 is greater than string2.Description
Compares two strings. While you can compare strings using the ==, < and > operators, using the StrCmp function lets you make the comparison case sensitive if desired. You can also choose the number of characters of each string to compare.
Example:
if (StrCmp(name, "backup-", 7) == 0) { ... } // name begins with "backup-"
