EdmiError edmiLike(SdaiString  operand1,
                    SdaiString  operand2, 
                    SdaiInteger options, 
                    SdaiLogical *result);

This function implements an extended version of the LIKE operation in the Express language as defined in section 12.2.5 in ISO 10303-11:1994(E) : The EXPRESS Language Reference Manual. The extension is that optionally the operation can do case insensitive comparison.

Arguments

Type	Name	Comment
SdaiString	operand1	The target string (left operand).
SdaiString	operand2	The pattern string (right operand). The pattern matching characters are:@ Matches any letter^ Matches any upper case letter? Matches any character& Matches remainder of string# Matches any digit$ Matches a substring terminated by a space character or end-of-string*Matches any number of characters\ Begins a pattern escape sequence! Negation character (used with the othercharacters)
SdaiInteger	options	Specifies the options of the operation
SdaiLogical	result	Address of a SdaiLogical variable that receives the result of the operation. The result is as follows: sdaiTRUE: actual string matches specified pattern sdaiFALSE: actual string does not match specified pattern sdaiUNKNOWN: error in operation or at least one unset argument.

Return Value

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'null' does not have permission to view the page 'US:_r_EDMInterface'.

Options

Option	Comment
CASE_SENSITIVE	Characters are compared case sensitive. The interpretation of the pattern matching characters are as described in <operand2> argument. CASE_SENSITIVE is the default behavior of the LIKE operation, i.e., when none of the options CASE_SENSITIVE and CASE_INSENSITIVE are set.
CASE_INSENSITIVE	Characters are compared case insensitive. The interpretation of the pattern matching characters are as described in <operand2> argument.

Example

 SdaiAppInstance currInst;
 SdaiLogical result;
 EdmiError rstat;
 . . .
 if (rstat = edmiLike ("\AAAA", "
A?AA", CASE_SENSITIVE, &result)) {
 /* Error in operation */ 
 printf("\nError: %s in edmiLike\n", 
 edmiGetErrorText(rstat)); 
 goto error; 
 }
 if (result == sdaiTRUE) {
 printf("\nString: %s matches pattern: %s", "
AAAA", "\\\\A?AA"); 
 }
