Anyone know where I can get that?
I need the strncasecmp() function to compare two strings regardless of their case.
I can't find it anywhere, and it doesn't come with my compiler im using.

try stricmp() or strnicmp(). I'm willing to bet you have those functions.
FAQ > How do I... (Level 1) > Where can I download a missing header file?
<string.h> is a standard header, not <strings.h>, but strcasecmp is not a standard function. Writing your own is fairly easy. [edit]Take a stab at it before peeking at this.
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
I don't have either of those functions.
Im using strncmp() but I need something that will say the strings are the same if for example:
1) This Is A String
2) this is a string
I need both of those to be compared and the function to return that they are the same. Right now the strncmp() does not do this.
I only have the <string.h> header file, but in the <strings.h> file there is the strncasecmp(), in which I need.
What compiler are you using?
The linux gcc compilers in our computer labs have this header file, but my windows compiler does not have this, and I cannot get to the lab to grab it.
I'm just using a compiler I grabbed off a site called PellesC.
As, Dave said. It's easy to write your own. Look into <ctype.h> and the toupper() function. You don't go fishing around for nonstandard libraries when it's easy enough to write the code using standard libraries.

Doesn't using non-standard headers defeat the whole purpose of writing portable C code (which made C famous in the first place)?
I'm sort of a beginner at this but wouldn't stricmp() work?
I'm also wondering...Originally Posted by bigggame
Code:#include <stdio.h> void J(char*a){int f,i=0,c='1';for(;a[i]!='0';++i)if(i==81){ puts(a);return;}for(;c<='9';++c){for(f=0;f<9;++f)if(a[i-i%27+i%9 /3*3+f/3*9+f%3]==c||a[i%9+f*9]==c||a[i-i%9+f]==c)goto e;a[i]=c;J(a);a[i] ='0';e:;}}int main(int c,char**v){int t=0;if(c>1){for(;v[1][ t];++t);if(t==81){J(v[1]);return 0;}}puts("sudoku [0-9]{81}");return 1;}
Plese try to compile the following code and place error messages you're getting:
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main (void) { char str1[] = "Test"; char str2[] = "test"; printf ("%d", stricmp (str1,str2)); return 0; }
Gotta love the "please fix this for me, but I'm not going to tell you which functions we're allowed to use" posts.

Beginner at reading, I guess.He already said.
How he doesn't, I don't know, but regardless, it's simple enough to write one.

If portability is a requiement, yes.
If it is not a requirement, or not particularly cared about, then no.
Mr. Blonde: You ever listen to K-Billy's "Super Sounds of the Seventies" weekend? It's my personal favorite.
Try _strnicmp() for MS compilers.I don't have either of those functions.
The best solution is to write your own string comparison function.
