Standard C function for strings
PostPosted: Sat Oct 06, 2012 5:37 am     Reply with quote

Hello,
I have small problem. I want compare two string and i find strncasecmp function, but in CCS is only strncmp. This function recognize big and small symbols, like A is not a. In my program I don't need this.
For me "aaa" must be egual with "AAA".
How I can do this ??

Best regards
R.L.

Does stricmp(s1,s2) not do what you want ? - see the "standard string functions" section in the user manual for what is available.

Hello,
Thank You for reply.
Yes this function doing this but for all string. In function strncmp I have third parameter s3 - number of characters from each string to be used in the comparison.

just write it.
Code:

int strncmpn(char* s1, char* s2, int n) {
   if (n==0) return 0;
   while (n-- != 0 && tolower(*s1) == tolower(*s2)) {
      if (n == 0 || *s1 == '\0' || *s2 == '\0')
        break;
      s1++;
      s2++;
    }
    return tolower(*(unsigned char *) s1) - tolower(*(unsigned char *) s2);
}


There is nothing magical about any of the functions. strncasecmp, is a non standard function that was included in quite a few unix/linux distributions, but because it was _not_ part of C, the source was included as well in the include library.
