Add a path separator between the two strings if necessary. An example of a path is /home/gerard/Documents/Gambas/ How to get it: User.Home &/ "Documents" &/ "Gambas/"ComparisonString = String Returns if two strings are equal.String == String Case-insensitive comparison Returns if two strings are equal, regardless of upper or lower caseString LIKE String Checks if a string matches a pattern. Is the first string like the second? There are special codes for the pattern string. Refer to the wiki for more codes, http://Gambaswiki.org/wiki/lang/like * means any character or string of characters "Gambas" Like "G*" means “Does Gambas begin with a G?” ? means any single character; [ ] means either/or the things in brackets: "Gambas" Like "?[Aa]*" means “Does Gambas have a capital or small A as its second letter?” "Gambas" Like "G[^Aa]*" means “Does Gambas not have a capital or small A as its second letter?” Dim Fruit As String = "pear" Label1.text = Fruit Like "{apple,pear,lemon}" shows True, but Label1.text = Fruit Like "{apple, pear, lemon}" shows False because spaces matter.String MATCH StringChecks if a string matches a PCRE regular expression. Refer to http://Gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/pcre PCRE means Perl Compatible Regular Expressions Regular expressions are the ultimate in finding things in strings.String BEGINS String Checks if a string begins a certain way "Gerard" Begins "G" means “Does Gerard begin with a G?”String ENDS String Checks if a string ends a certain way "Benôit" Ends "t" means “Does Benôit end with a t?”String <> String Does not equal, or “is not the same as”String1 < String2 Does string1 come alphabetically before string2?String1 > String2 Does string1 come alphabetically after string2?String1 <= String2 Does string1 come alphabetically before, or is it the same as, string2?String1 >= String2 Does string1 come alphabetically after, or is it the same as, string2?
