Description
Compares strings based on the current locale with case sensitivity.
AnsiCompareStr compares S1 to S2, with case sensitivity. The comparison operation is controlled by the current locale. The return value is one of the following.
| Condition | Return Value |
|---|---|
|
S1 > S2 |
> 0 |
|
S1 < S2 |
< 0 |
|
S1 = S2 |
= 0 |
Note: Most locales consider lowercase characters to be less than the corresponding uppercase characters. This is in contrast to ASCII order, in which lowercase characters are greater than uppercase characters. Thus, setting S1 to 'a' and S2 to 'A' causees AnsiCompareStr to return a value less than zero, while CompareStr, with the same arguments, returns a value greater than zero.
