Subject: string compare
Friends,
I have two string
$m1="hari$";
$t1="HaRi$";
How do I compare irrespective of the case?
Since they are strings, I have to use 'eq' as comparison operator.
if ($m1 eq $t1) -- doesn't work as it looks at the case
$m1 eq m/$t1/i ---- I know m// is used to match a string against a
regular
expression.
$m1 eq ~/$t1/
.............
Thanks for any help.
Hari..
-------------------
Save on processing speed.
Force them both to upper case to compare:
if (uc($m1) eq uc($t1)) {
print "They match\n";
} else {
print "They don't match\n";
}
Stan
