mtlb_strcmp

Matlab strcmp emulation function

Description

There is no Scilab function equivalent for Matlab strcmp, there is equivalent instructions.

The function mtlb_strcmp(A,B) is used by mfile2sci to replace strcmp(A,B) when it was not possible to know what were the inputs while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_strcmp calls:

• If A and B are character strings mtlb_strcmp(A,B) may be replaced by A==B
• If A and/or B is not a character string mtlb_strcmp(A,B) may be replaced by 0

Caution: mtlb_strcmp has not to be used for hand coded functions.
