Thread: standard for comparing

It's trivial to do it yourself:

Code:

/* Change case to lower (strlwr) */
char *lower(char *s)
{
    char *p = s;

    while (*p != '\0') {
        *p = tolower(*p);
        ++p;
    }

    return s;
}

int compare(char *s1, char *s2)
{
    return strcmp(lower(s1), lower(s2));
}

Of course, when working with string literals it isn't quite so easy. Close though.

@Prelude: I was going to comment on how inefficient your version is, but then I realised you'd left it as an exercise for the OP.

@chrismiceli: If you know your compilers, you could also try to #define your way out of the problem. But, I'd still recommend the creation of your own function.
