FileRead idea
would be nice to have something like

FileRead [/MATCHCASE] handle user_var

what do you think?

hmm, i think the answer from the nsis-devs would sound like this:
use the current 'FileRead' to read out the strings, and convert them with the 'StrUpper' and 'StrLower' functions. the functions are stored at the archives.

;D

i dont want to convert them. i want to find "Expression", not "expression" or anything else. so either fileread or strcmp should have that matchcase option.

It's not possible to perform a case-sensitive string comparison directly with NSIS, but using System.dll you can use the Win32 lstrcmp function. LogicLib provides a wrapper around this: you can !include LogicLib.nsh then use code such as

${If} $0 S== "Expression"
  ; Do something
${EndIf}

Bug in Documentation:

If the end of file is read and no more data is available, the output string will be empty, and the error flag will be set.
