Summary
Compares two strings to see if they match.
Changes
Added to Version 2014.
Syntax
string = CompareStrings (string s1, string s2 [, array opts])
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| s1 | The first of the two strings to compare |
| s2 | The second of the two strings to compare |
| Option | Type | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Case Sensitive | Boolean | If "True" the comparison is case sensitive, if "False" (the default) the comparison is not case sensitive |
Returns
Returns a boolean "True" (if they match) or "False" (if they don't)
Notes
-
A null value for either is considered an empty string, so if they are both null, CompareStrings() returns "True"; if one is null, CompareStrings() returns "False"
-
Can also be called as StrEq().
Examples
str1 = null
str2 = null
ret = CompareStrings(str1, str2,)
// ret = "True"
str1 = "foo" // str2 is still null
ret = CompareStrings(str1, str2,)
// ret = "False"
str2 = "Foo" // str1 is still "foo"
ret = CompareStrings(str1, str2,)
// ret = "True"
// str1 is still "foo" and str2 is still "Foo"
ret = CompareStrings(str1, str2, {{"Case Sensitive", True}})
// ret = "False"See Also
