-----Original Message----- From: Krishna, Hari [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 12:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including all attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
