Comparing strings 1

[jduk]

When comparing strings (e.g. using strcmp() ), is there any way in C++ to return a true result if the letters of the string are the same but the case is not?

i.e To return true when comparing 'programming' with 'PROgramming'

Thanks in advance.

Try one of the following
[tt]
strcasecmp()
strcmpi()
stricmp()
[/tt]
But there is no standard name for the routine, so you need to go look in string.h to find out how (or even if) your compiler vendor has implemented it.

Salem you beauty.

don't forget about strncmp. This function is very important when working with binary strings. Also compare for UNICODE:
wcscmp
