Thread: strcmp without case sensitivity

is there a way to use strcmp so that it is not case sensitive?
For instance, if I call strcmp(value, "string"), and value is either String or STRING, I will still return a true.
Thanks for your help

Some C libraries support stricmp() -- a non-standard call -- which ignores case
If your C doesn't have it try something like this:

Code:

#include <ctype.h>
/* case blind strcmp */

int stricmp (const char *p1, const char *p2)
{
  register unsigned char *s1 = (unsigned char *) p1;
  register unsigned char *s2 = (unsigned char *) p2;
  unsigned char c1, c2;

  do
  {
      c1 = (unsigned char) toupper((int)*s1++);
      c2 = (unsigned char) toupper((int)*s2++);
      if (c1 == '\0')
      {
	        return c1 - c2;
      }
  }
  while (c1 == c2);

  return c1 - c2;
}

Borland Turbo C used to have stricmp(). I have never encountered strcmpi() in a C library.
What environment supports that?

thanks for all of your help
