Compare first n characters of strings (case insensitive)

Syntax

tf = strncmpi(s1,s2,n)

Description

tf = strncmpi(s1,s2,n) compares up to n characters of 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 content of each is the same up to the end or the first n characters, whichever comes first, ignoring case.

Note

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