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)

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.

Usage

These methods continue to make a case-insensitive comparison, one byte at a time, of string1 and string2 until there is a mismatch or the terminating null byte is reached.
