How to compare strings ignoring case

[dan5348]

Im lost on this.

It should report whether or not, ignoring case, they are the same.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
void main(void)
{
	char str1[25], str2[25], dif;
	printf("\nEnter the first String:");
	gets(str1);
	printf("\nEnter the second String;");
	gets(str2);

	dif = strcmp(str1, str2);                                       //using string functions

	if (dif>0)
		printf("%s comes after %s", str1, str2);
	else
	{
		if (dif<0)
			printf("%s comes after %s", str2, str1);
		else
			printf("both the strings are same");
	}
}

strcmp just compares the strings. Therefore, X and x will compare not equal.

Use stricmp. That is a case insensitive version of strcmp.
