Pascal Syntax

  uses netwin32 
   
  Function NWLstrcoll 
    (string1 : pnstr; 
     string2 : pnstr 
  ) : nint; 
  
  

Parameters

string1

(IN) Points to the first string to compare.

string2

(IN) Points to the second string to compare.

Return Values

When the string1 / string2 parameter combination is relative to current locale setting:

• integer>0 string1> string2
• integer=0 string1 = string2
• integer<0 string1< string2

Remarks

NWLstrcoll compares `string1’ to `string2’. Both are interpreted as appropriate to the LC_COLLATE category of the current locale. For a locale-sensitive comparison of two strings, call NWLstrcoll instead of the strcmp function.

The comparison between string1 and string2 is case insensitive.
