I want to compare 2 string..
But if the string have uppercase un , that doesn't work..
exemple:
String1 to compare : welcome
String2 founded : Welcome

if String1 = String2 then
   'allright
else
   'nope
end if

how can I put the string2 and the string1 in lowercase ?

[Jop]

If Lcase(String1) = LCase(Sting2) Then...
'Will get them both in LowerCase

'Use UCase(String) for Uppercase

Hope it helped mate!

'you can also just use the string compare function

 Dim x As String, y As String
    Dim myComp As String
    
    x = "hello"
    y = "HeLlO"
'if you use 1 as the 3rd argument it forces a text comparison

    myComp = StrComp(x, y, 1)   ' Returns 0 if matched.
    
    If myComp = 0 Then
        MsgBox myComp
    End If
End Sub

something else you should know, put this in your declarations section...

OPTION COMPARE TEXT

Let's be fair and keep it easy...

...wich one is faster? my code is shorter

[HeSaidJoe]

myComp = StrComp(x, y, 1) ' Returns 0 if matched

not shorter that the line I gave if I didn't include the sample and besides we are not in a competition. we are supplying different avenues for the questioner to explore and learn.

The Option Explict is forced when the user enters the 3rd option 1 in the strCompare function.

and besides we are not in a competition. we are supplying different avenues for the questioner to explore and learn.

I'm sorry if I made the impression to being competitive, maybe it was a kinda useless post, but I didn't see why we should use that code if you could do it in 1 line, but you're right, we should hive the questioners different solutions for their problem to let them deside to use what code to use.

Again, I'm sorry to make such a stupid reply, it wasn't meant to challenge you in any way.
