strcmpi

Compare strings (case insensitive)

Syntax

tf = strcmpi(s1,s2)

Description

tf = strcmpi(s1,s2) compares s1 and s2, ignoring any differences in letter case. The function returns 1 (true) if the two are identical and 0 (false) otherwise. Text is considered identical if the size and content of each are the same, aside from case. The return result tf is of data type logical.

Note

The operator strcmpi is supported only in Stateflow^® charts that use MATLAB^® as the action language.

Comparison by Using `strcmpi`

Return a value of 0 (strings are equal).

h2 = "Hello";
h3 = "hello";
x = strcmpi(h1,h2)
y = strcmpi(h1,h3)

Stateflow chart that uses the strcmpi operator in a state.

Limitations

This operator is not supported for use with structures. For more information about structures in Stateflow, see Access Bus Signals Through Stateflow Structures.
