StrComp(string1, string2[, compare])
Description
StrComp compares two strings and returns an integer value which indicates the alphabetical relationship between them. The required parameters, string1 and string2, are two valid string expressions. The optional parameter, compare, is used to specify the type of comparison performed. StrComp returns -1 if string1 is less than string2, 0 if string1 is equal to string2, or 1 if string1 is greater than string2.
