Re: FLASH: case sensitivity

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Ted,


Gee, your lucky today, I have just made a script to do that very thing.


I needed to check if 2 variable "someVariable" & "anotherVariable" where the

same without the case sensitivity.


<snip>

Set Variable: "var1" = someVariable

Set Variable: "xx" = 1

Loop While (xx<Length(var1))

      Set Variable: "char" = Ord(Substring(var1, xx,1))

      If (char>64 AND char<91)

            Set Variable: "firstVar" = firstVar & Chr(char+32)

      Else

            Set Variable: "firstVar" = firstVar & Chr(char)

      End If

      Set Variable: "xx" = xx+1

End Loop

Set Variable: "var2" = anotherVariable

Set Variable: "xx" = 1

Loop While (xx<Length(var2))

      Set Variable: "char" = Ord(Substring(var2, xx,1))

      If (char>64 AND char<91)

            Set Variable: "secondVar" = secondVar & Chr(char+32)

      Else

            Set Variable: "secondVar" = secondVar & Chr(char)

      End If

      Set Variable: "xx" = xx+1

End Loop

If (firstVar eq secondVar)

      comment: "they are the same code here"

      Go to and Stop ("somewhere1")

Else

      comment: "they are NOT the same code here"

      Go to and Play ("somewhere2")

End If

</snip>


This code only changes the Case if the character is a letter. So special

characters stay the same.


Hope this helps.


Robert
