Help on String Compare

[Syed23]

Hi All,

I need a help on comparing 2 strings. I mean not comparing the length of the string the comparision should check whether both the strings are same or not? For Example, I have a file with 10 strings and now i am reading a registry and i want to compare that the string took from the registry and the string is there in the file are same. How can we do that ? Hope the StringCompare() function compares the length i may be wrong. which function will help for this? Please suggest me!

$_String1 = 'blah blah'

$_String2 = 'blah blah'

If $_String1 = $_String2 Then ConsoleWrite ( "strings are same" & @Crlf )

; use == for case sensitive

yes

$str1 = "Output folder: C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE"
$str2 = "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE"
If StringInStr ( $str1, $str2  ) <> 0 Then ConsoleWrite ( "$str2 is a part of $str1" & @Crlf )
