原型：extern int stricmp(char *s1,char * s2);

用法：#include <string.h>

功能：比较字符串s1和s2，但不区分字母的大小写。

说明：strcmpi是到stricmp的宏定义，实际未提供此函数。

当s1<s2时，返回值<0

当s1=s2时，返回值=0

当s1>s2时，返回值>0

举例：

// stricmp.c

#include <syslib.h>

#include <string.h>

main()

{

char *s1="Hello, Programmers!";

char *s2="Hello, programmers!";

int r;

clrscr();

r=stricmp(s1,s2);

if(!r)

printf("s1 and s2 are identical");

else

if(r<0)

printf("s1 less than s2");

else

printf("s1 greater than s2");

getchar();

return 0;

}

C/C++中，可以用_stricmp等函数处理字符串大小写不敏感问题。

下面是MSDN上的介绍

_stricmp, _wcsicmp, _mbsicmp

Perform a lowercase comparison of strings.

int _stricmp( const char *string1, const char *string2 );

int _wcsicmp( const wchar_t *string1, const wchar_t *string2 );

int _mbsicmp( const unsigned char *string1, const unsigned char_t *string2 );

Routine Required Header Compatibility

_mbsicmp <mbstring.h> Win 95, Win NT

Return Value

The return value indicates the relation of string1 to string2 as follows.

Return Value Description

< 0 string1 less than string2

0 string1 identical to string2

> 0 string1 greater than string2

On an error, _mbsicmp returns _NLSCMPERROR, which is defined in STRING.H and MBSTRING.H.

Parameters

string1, string2

Null-terminated strings to compare

Remarks

The _stricmp function lexicographically compares lowercase versions of string1 and string2 and returns a value indicating their relationship. _stricmp differs from _stricoll in that the _stricmp comparison is not affected by locale, whereas the _stricoll comparison is according to the LC_COLLATE category of the current locale. For more information on the LC_COLLATE category, see setlocale.

The _strcmpi function is equivalent to _stricmp and is provided for backward compatibility only.

_wcsicmp and _mbsicmp are wide-character and multibyte-character versions of _stricmp. The arguments and return value of _wcsicmp are wide-character strings; those of _mbsicmp are multibyte-character strings. _mbsicmp recognizes multibyte-character sequences according to the current multibyte code page and returns _NLSCMPERROR on an error. (For more information, see Code Pages.) These three functions behave identically otherwise.

_wcsicmp and wcscmp behave identically except that wcscmp does not convert its arguments to lowercase before comparing them. _mbsicmp and _mbscmp behave identically except that _mbscmp does not convert its arguments to lowercase before comparing them.

Example

/* STRCMP.C */

#include <string.h>

#include <stdio.h>

char string1[] = "The quick brown dog jumps over the lazy fox";

char string2[] = "The QUICK brown dog jumps over the lazy fox";

void main( void )

{

char tmp[20];

int result;

/* Case sensitive */

printf( "Compare strings:\\\t%s\\\t%s\\", string1, string2 );

result = strcmp( string1, string2 );

if( result > 0 )

strcpy( tmp, "greater than" );

else if( result < 0 )

strcpy( tmp, "less than" );

else

strcpy( tmp, "equal to" );

printf( "\\tstrcmp: String 1 is %s string 2\", tmp );

/* Case insensitive (could use equivalent _stricmp) */

result = _stricmp( string1, string2 );

if( result > 0 )

strcpy( tmp, "greater than" );

else if( result < 0 )

strcpy( tmp, "less than" );

else

strcpy( tmp, "equal to" );

printf( "\\t_stricmp: String 1 is %s string 2\", tmp );

}

Output

Compare strings:

The quick brown dog jumps over the lazy fox

The QUICK brown dog jumps over the lazy fox

strcmp: String 1 is greater than string 2

_stricmp: String 1 is equal to string 2
