Published On: March 17, 2012
The following code snippet can be used to quickly compare two strings using the MD5 Digest value returned by Generate Digest making the comparrison Case Sensitive:
| C_BOOLEAN($0) C_TEXT($1;$2) $0:=(Generate digest($1;MD5 Digest)=Generate digest($2;MD5 Digest)) |
If the code is saved as UTIL_CaseSensitiveCompare it can be used like this:
| If (UTIL_CaseSensitiveCompare ($text1;$text2)) // text and case matches else // the text and case does not match end if |
