string::compare

[Flzw]

I've been trying to use std::string::compare and apparently it is case
sensitive, I searched the net but I can't find a way for it not to take case
into account, the solution I have for now is using stricmp with s1.c_str()
and s2.c_str() but I assume there is a better way... Thanks.

Hello,

I am missing certain functionality of std::string, so I am currently
writing some helper functions which operate on strings. On of them is

Have you see Pavel Droba's string algorithm library at boost? See
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo/quickref.html#id576916.

This offers an extensive set of well thought out algorithms. Boost is
extensively tested for portability across many platforms.
