C++ Information

From SysUtils.hpp

	int __fastcall AnsiStrComp(char * S1, char * S2);

Unit: SysUtils

Type: function

Description

Compares null-terminated character strings.

AnsiStrComp compares S1 to S2, with case sensitivity. The compare 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.

Note:  This function supports multi-byte character sets (MBCS).
