Hi,

Not sure, what you are asking.

aqString.Compare("Energiezähler", "ENERGIEZÄHLER", false)

above line will return 0 if both values matched.

From TC docuement:

Result Value

Integer value that indicates the comparison result. The following values are possible:

Value	Meaning
-1	The String1 is less than String2.
0	The String1 identical to String2.
1	The String1 is greater than String2.

To be more precise, I get the Result 1, not 0.
When I remove the "Ä"/ "ä", there is the 0, as expected.

  I have the following code (in JScript):
  
  function test3() { Log.Message(aqString.Compare('Energiezähler','ENERGIEZÄHLER', false)); }
  
  And this is returning a 0 as expected. I'm running TC 12.30. I don't have 11.2 installed to verify. It's possible that better support for extended ASCII within the aqString object may be included in later versions. I'd suggest you send this query off to the support team directly.

    Hm-m-m...
    
    I thought that it might to have something related to the current locale... but...
    
    TC11.31 with non-German locale and VBScript project:
    
    iStatusId = aqString.Compare("Energiezähler", "ENERGIEZÄHLER", False)
    
    returned zero.
