Description
The compare command compares two strings.
The first two parameters (STRING_1 and STRING_2) are the strings to be compared.
The optional case parameter specifies whether the comparison is case-sensitive (yes) or case-insensitive (no). Default = no.
If the length parameter is set, only the first n characters are compared.
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.
The _lastrc.message built-in variable contains MATCH if the strings are equal; it contains NO_MATCH if the strings are not equal.
