The first two parameters (STRING_1 and STRING_2) are the strings to be compared.

Anchor

The optional case parameter specifies whether the comparison is case-sensitive (yes) or case-insensitive (no). Default = no.

Anchor

If the length parameter is set, only the first n characters are compared.

Anchor

The _lastrc.result variable receives the result of the comparison:

• If the strings match, 0 is stored in the result.
• If the strings do not match, the index of the point at which the comparison failed is stored as the result.
