This function is for BASIC compatibility. It is not available in pure JavaScript projects.
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.
Table: Comparison constants
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| vbBinaryCompare | 0 | Binary comparison case sensitive (default) |
| vbTextCompare | 1 | Textual comparison, case insensitive |
Example (BASIC)
Rem StrComp Example
'StrComp compares two strings
Sort "Kenny", "Kyle", vbBinaryCompare
Sort "Eric", "eric", vbTextCompare
Sort "Wendy", "Stan", vbBinaryCompare
Sub Sort(string1, string2, compare)
Dim Order
Order = StrComp(string1, string2, compare)
If Order < 0 Then
Print string1 & " precedes " & string2
ElseIf Order > 0 Then
Print string2 & " precedes " & string1
Else
Print string1 & " and " & string2 _
& " are equivalent"
End If
End Sub
Output
Kenny precedes Kyle Eric and eric are equivalent Stan precedes Wendy
