compare strings passed to a macro (masm) - Forums

i need to compare strings passed to a macro
case insensitive or case sensitive
like this:



mymacro MACRO str1,str2

IF @StrCmp(str1,str2)  EQ 0   ; ? 

  ...

ELSE

  ...

ENDIF

  

ENDM

i need that strcmp, can anyone help?
i tried something using @InStr but failed
FORC... maybe?

p.s. i'm a begginer

You could try
lstrcmp equ <lstrcmpA>
lstrcmpA PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD

In kernel32.inc

Have fun...

Newbie trying to help, watch out! ;)

the IF* instruction does compares at ASSEMBLY TIME.

the lstrcmp routines do the compare at RUN TIME.

BTW learning macros is fun!!

Hi AmkG

What do you mean by ASSEMBLY TIME, versus RUNTIME :confused:

ASSEMBLY TIME : when the source code is being assembled
RUNTIME: when the executable is run
