I am trying to compare the contents of two text fields, and I am trying to use a suggestion someone posted a while back. The function they said would do this is

long tgbrg0005.text.compare(string language(1), string text1(17), string text2(17))

I can't get the script to compile using this. Is there an include that I'm missing or is it because I am using Baan IV?

Another suggestion was to use text.to.buf() and cmp.mem(), but I'm not sure how to use this to get the results I need. Could anyone show me an example of how to use one or both of these to compare two text fields? Thanks.

Did you include the dll otgbrg0005? What error are you getting?

Check for the library tgbrg0005.

Here is the origial posting - text fields (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=9192&highlight=text). Please post your code for others to review.

I guess it would help if I included the dll. Wasn't thinking. Thanks for the help. I had already figured out how to use the text.to.buf and cmp.mem, but the dll function sounds more straight forward. Thanks again.
