Compare first N characters of strings in Requirements Table block (case insensitive)

Since R2022b

Syntax

tf = strncmpi(str1,str2,n)

Description

tf = strncmpi(str1,str2,n) compares up to n characters of str1 and str2, ignoring case. The operator returns 1 (true) if the strings are identical and 0 (false) otherwise. Use this operator in the Requirements Table block.

Examples

Compare First N Characters While Ignoring Case

In a Requirements Table block, create a requirement that checks if the string "Hello, world!" matches the first thirteen characters of the string "hello, World!!!!!!!!!!!!", ignoring case.

y = strncmpi("Hello, world!","hello, World!!!!!!!!!!!!",13)
