NSFItemTextEqual

Function : Item (Field)
NSFItemTextEqual - Test if item text is equal to a given text string.

#include <nsfnote.h>
BOOL LNPUBLIC NSFItemTextEqual(

    NOTEHANDLE  note_handle,
    const char far *item_name,
    const char far *item_text,
    WORD  text_len,
    BOOL  case_sensitive_flag);
Description :

This function takes a handle to an open note, the name for the TYPE_TEXT Item whose value you wish to test, the test text, the length of that text, and a boolean value indicating whether or not to ignore case during the comparison..
It returns TRUE if the text is equal or FALSE if it is not.

Parameters : Input : note_handle - A handle to an open note in memory.

item_name - The address of a null-terminated string containing the Item name.

item_text - The address of the text buffer containing the test text.

text_len - A WORD containing the length of the test text buffer. If the length MAXWORD is used, then the string is assumed to be null-terminated, and the length of the null-terminated string is used instead.

case_sensitive_flag - A BOOL containing: TRUE to consider case or FALSE to ignore case during the comparison.

Output : (routine) - Returns: TRUE if text strings are equal. FALSE if they are NOT equal.

Sample Usage :

/* Compare text to text item ignoring case! */

printf("Does %s: %s\nEqual %s: %s if case is ignored ?\n",
           TEXT_ITEM, text_buf1,
           TEXT_ITEM, SOME_TEXT3);
printf("Answer: %s\n", (NSFItemTextEqual(note1_handle, TEXT_ITEM,
                              SOME_TEXT3, strlen(SOME_TEXT3),FALSE))
                              ? "YES YES YES!" : "Nooooooooo!");
