Equals

Returns true if two slices hold the same code units, optionally ignoring case.

Syntax

Equals( a, b [, ignoreCase] )

Notes

• ignoreCase folds the ASCII letters A to Z only; every other unit must match exactly.
• Slices of different lengths are never equal.
• a and b are const slices of one width; any string can be passed for either.
• O(n) — boolean

Examples

#import "std/strings"
using strings

dim as ustring s = "Content-Type: text"
dim as const uslice name_ = s[0 to 11]
print Equals( name_, "Content-Type" )          '' true
print Equals( name_, "content-type" )          '' false
print Equals( name_, "content-type", true )    '' true
print Equals( name_, "Content" )               '' false
