Hi,

how do I compare a string to another string with exact match not stringinstr.

thanks

StringRegExp can do it for you: the pattern you're looking for IS EXACTLY the text you want, and it's case sensitive...

[Helge]

$string = "damn...in 8 weeks I'm home...can't wait !"
$string2 = "Damn...in 8 weeks I'm home...can't wait !"

; 1st example
; Not case sensitive

If $string = $string2 Then
MsgBox(64,"","Matched !")
Else
MsgBox(64,"","Didn't match..")
EndIf

;2nd example
; Case sensitive

If $string == $string2 Then
MsgBox(64,"","Matched !")
Else
MsgBox(64,"","Didn't match..")
EndIf

(Code is untested, but should work)

Note the use of the two "==" in the second example,

which requires an exact match... Case sensitive !
