For case insensitive comparisons you should use CmpNoCase() - or give a second parameter to IsSameAs(). This last function is maybe more - convenient if only equality of the strings matters because it returns a boolean - @true value if the strings are the same and not 0 (which is usually @false - in C) as Cmp() does. - - Matches() is a poor man's regular expression matcher: it only understands - '*' and '?' metacharacters in the sense of DOS command line interpreter. - - StartsWith() is helpful when parsing a line of text which should start - with some predefined prefix and is more efficient than doing direct string - comparison as you would also have to precalculate the length of the prefix. - - @li compare() - @li Cmp() - @li CmpNoCase() - @li IsSameAs() - @li Matches() - @li StartsWith() - @li EndsWith() - - - @section string_substring Substring extraction - - These functions allow you to extract a substring from the string.
