Returns an integer less than zero if String1 is less than String 2. Returns an integer greater than zero if String1 is greater than String2. Returns 0 if the strings are equal.

Remarks

Added in 2.2.6

The Compare service compares two variables as strings. When you use BASIC+ comparison operators, the variables' contents will be converted into numbers if possible. The Compare service, on the other hand, always does a character by character comparison.

Code Block
Str1 = "27"
Str2 = "27."

// In BASIC+, thesereturns are equal
If 1
IsEqual = (Str1 = Str2 then
    Ans = "Equal Value"
end else
    Ans = "Not Equal Value"
end

)

// UsingCompare theservice Comparereturns service, these strings are not equal
If-1 (Str1 is less than Str2)
Result = SRP_String("Compare", Str1, Str2) = 0 then
    Ans = "Equal Strings"
end else
    Ans = "Not Equal Strings"
end

// Case sensitive comparison returns 0
Ans 1 (Str1 is greater than Str2)
Result = SRP_String("Compare", "HELLO", "hello", No$)

// Case insensitive comparison returns 1
Ans0 (equal)
Result = SRP_String("Compare", "HELLO", "hello", Yes$)
