strncasecmp
The strcasecmp() function performs a byte-by-byte comparison of the strings s1 and s2, ignoring the case of the characters. It returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2.
The strncasecmp() function is similar, except that it compares no more than n bytes of s1 and s2…
usually what I do is just compare a lower-cased version of the string in question, like:
if (foo.make_this_lowercase_somehow() == “stack overflow”) {
// be happy
}
I believe boost has built-in lowercase conversions, so:
#include
if (boost::algorithm::to_lower(str) == “stack overflow”) {
//happy time
}
