Clib.stricmp() Method and Clib.strcmpi() Method

These methods make a case-insensitive comparison of two strings.

Syntax

Clib.stricmp(string1, string2)
Clib.strcmpi(string1, string2)

Parameter
Description
string1
A string, or a variable containing a string, to be compared with string2
string2
A string, or a variable containing a string, to be compared with string1

Returns

The result of the comparison, which is 0 if the strings are identical, a negative number if the ASCII code of the first unmatched character in string1 is less than that of the first unmatched character in string2, or a positive number if the ASCII code of the first unmatched character in string1 is greater than that of the first unmatched character in string2.
