String Compare with more results

Hi,

i need a function who compares a string and returns the results "greater than" or "lower than". It´s basically the same function like IntCmpU but only with strings. Are such a function available?

Best Regards

Maybe, but you can try this: 🙂

SetCompressor lzma

XPStyle on

Name "Lobo Lunar"

OutFile "Hi.exe"

BrandingText "Lobo Lunar"

InstallDir "$EXEDIR"

ShowInstDetails show



Page instfiles "" "inst_show" ""



Function "inst_show"



StrCpy $1 "Holann" #input 1st. string

StrCpy $2 "Hello" #input 2nd. string



StrLen $0 $1 # 1st. string len.

StrLen $R0 $2 # 2nd. string len.



IntCmp $0 $R0 Equal Less More #Compare 1st with 2nd string, if 1st string is...



Equal: # If the 1st and the 2nd are the same:

DetailPrint "$1 and $2 are the same ($0)"

goto Exit



Less: # If 1st string is less...

DetailPrint "$1($0) is less than $2($R0)"

goto Exit



More: #If 1st is bigger....

DetailPrint "$1($0) is bigger than $2($R0)"

goto Exit



Exit: # The end

FunctionEnd



Section "-default"

; Nothing...

Hi,

thanks for your answer. But I your function checks the length of the two strings. I need a function who compares to strings. For example:

1. String: "abc"
2. String: "ABC"

Do you ment uppercase vs. lowercase?

No, I don´t! For example: I have two strings:

1. String "1.11"
2. String "1.12"

Now I want compare both strings which is greater than the other. In Delphi I do this for example:

If AString1 >= AString2 then
ShowMessage('1st String is greater or equal')
else
ShowMessage('1st Strings is lower')

Maybe I can convert the two strings in double values and compare this. But I dont know how to do this?

I believe StrCmp, is what you are after.

StrCmp "str1" "str2" jump_if_equal [jump_if_not_equal]

ie:

StrCmp "1" "2" lblEqual lblNotEqual
lblEqual:
MessageBox mb_ok "Equal"
goto lblDone
lblNotEqual:
MessageBox mb_ok "Not Equal"

lblDone:
Not exactly safe....but it is close to what you asked for...

The best way to do this is to use the version checking string function in the archive.

That doesn´t help me!

But I think this function helps me. I´ve searched for this function but I can´t find it. Where can I find this function?

I don't know Delphi, but you can't compare like that strings, I think you are comparing the numbers not the strings.

According to the above example, there's one web archive.
Dotted Comparison Script

Call lstrcmp with System.dll.

Hi,

thx for your answer.
