The pattern is that it converts the letters to their ascii values and then returns the difference of 2 minus 1 i think. So the longer the second word the larger the number, or vice versa if it's 1 - 2. There is also a strncmp() which does the same thing as strcmp() except you have the option to only compare a certain number of chars. I also wrote my own strcmp for school that isn't case sensitive, but I'd have to dig that up. Glad I could help though.

    well hey, if you happen upon that file, send a sample my way. I can't even fathom how to make something not case sensitive in C yet!

      So you know that all letters have an equivalent ascii numerical equivalent. So basically you check if it is within the capital or lowercase range, and then set it specifically to one or the other. You do this to every character in both strings, and then compare. At that point they should all be either uppercase or lowercase, depending on what you chose. That is the basics of it at least. If I find the code, I'll definitely show it to you. And if you need more of an explanation, i can give it to you.
