VBScript » Functions » StrComp
- Syntax:
- StrComp(String1, String2, Compare)
- String1
- The String1 argument is the first of two strings to compare.
- String2
- The String2 argument is the second of two strings to compare.
- Compare
- The optional Compare argument can be used to set whether the comparison is case sensitive (upper versus lower), or not. You must only use a constant or value from the Comparison Constants table.
The StrComp function compares two strings to see if they are
the same. You can have the comparison be sensitive, or not, to the case
(upper versus lower) of the characters in the two strings. The default
is to be case sensitive (binary comparison).
If the strings are the same, the output is zero. If the strings are
different, the output will be a 1 or -1 depending on the order of the
strings.
Comparison Constants
| CONSTANT | VALUE | DESCRIPTION |
