Does Auora have a string compare function?

[Rock Ridge Farm (Larry)]

I need a string compare function - does one exist?

[Ionic Wind Support Team]

Yes.  Just use any of the normal comparison operators.

A = "hello"
b = "hello"

IF a = b
   Writeln("hello!");

You can also use > and < to see if a string is alphabetically less than or greater than.

As usual it was my dumb mistake.

I was doing the following:
    if(struct.string = buffer)
I was getting a compile error but I realized that buffer was declared *buffer.
Changed to just buffer and now it compiles but seems to fail on the compare.
I will put some debug statements in the code and see why.

You mean the buffer was a pointer? Try

Code Select Expand

if (SomeStruct.Str = *buffer)
Always make sure your types match up. Comparing a string to a pointer won't compile. Comparing an integer to a pointer will compile, but will most likely fail since the integer won't hold the same value as the address the pointer holds.
