Case Sensitive String Compare

[Matt @ MPCS]

I know all of the more advanced coders out there can write this on their own, but for those of you looking to compare strings taking into consideration letter case here is a little UDF to help.

AutoIt: v3.0.103.0

Written by Matt

Name: CompString()

Parameters: String1, String2

Return: 1 if they are equal, -1 of not equal

Func CompString( $String1, $String2 )
   
   Local $i
   Local $StrVal1, $StrVal2
   
   $StrVal1 = 0
   $StrVal2 = 0
   
   If( $String1 = $String2 ) Then
      
      For $i = 1 to StringLen( $String1 )
         $StrVal1 = $StrVal1 + Asc( StringMid( $String1, $i, 1 ) )
      Next

      For $i = 1 to StringLen( $String2 )
         $StrVal2 = $StrVal2 + Asc( StringMid( $String2, $i, 1 ) )
      Next

      If( $StrVal1 = $StrVal2 ) Then
         Return 1
      EndIf
   EndIf
   
   Return -1

EndFunc

I haven't seen anything else like this on the forum or in the documentation so I figured I would post it since it has worked really well for me.

Always interested in questions, comments, bug reports. Thanks for your time.

Uhhh... open the help file, open the "Language Reference" 'folder' and choose "Operators". Then read the description for operator==.

Thanks Valik... I was sure I missed it somewhere. It is already posted so if one of the admins wants to remove it that is fine. Most of the work I do isn't case sensitive so I hadnt run across that yet. Thanks for pointing that out though.
