Determines if two strings are equal.
Syntax
IsEqual = SRP_String("EQ", String1, String2)
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
String1 | One of the two strings to be compared. (REQUIRED) |
String2 | The other string to be compared. (REQUIRED) |
Returns
Returns 1 if the two strings are the same, 0 if not.
Remarks
The EQ service compares two variables as strings. When you use the BASIC+ equality operator, the variables' contents will be compared according to abstract value, which means "123" will be equal to "123.000". The EQ service, on the other hand, always does a character by character comparison.
Example
Str1 = "27" Str2 = "27." // In BASIC+, these are equal If Str1 = Str2 then Ans = "Equal Value" end else Ans = "Not Equal Value" end // Using the Compare service, these strings are not equal If SRP_String("EQ", Str1, Str2) then Ans = "Equal Strings" end else Ans = "Not Equal Strings" end
