License: BSD style: see license.txt Version: Initial release: 2005 author: John Chapman class StringComparer ; Compares strings using the specified case and cultural comparision rules. this(Culture culture, bool ignoreCase); Creates an instance that compares strings using the rules of the specified culture. Params: Culture culture A Culture instance whose rules are used to compare strings. bool ignoreCase true to perform case-insensitive comparisons; false to perform case-sensitive comparisions. int compare (char[] strA, char[] strB); Compares two strings and returns the sort order. Returns: -1 is strA is less than strB; 0 if strA is equal to strB; 1 if strA is greater than strB. Params: char[] strA A string to compare to strB. char[] strB A string to compare to strA. bool equals (char[] strA, char[] strB); Indicates whether the two strings are equal. Returns: true if strA and strB are equal; otherwise, false. Params: char[] strA A string to compare to strB. char[] strB A string to compare to strA. static StringComparer currentCulture (); Property. Retrieves an instance that performs case-sensitive comparisons using the rules of the current culture. Returns: A new StringComparer instance. static StringComparer currentCultureIgnoreCase (); Property. Retrieves an instance that performs case-insensitive comparisons using the rules of the current culture. Returns: A new StringComparer instance. static StringComparer invariantCulture (); Property. Retrieves an instance that performs case-sensitive comparisons using the rules of the invariant culture. Returns: A new StringComparer instance. static StringComparer invariantCultureIgnoreCase (); Property. Retrieves an instance that performs case-insensitive comparisons using the rules of the invariant culture. Returns: A new StringComparer instance. alias StringComparison ; Delegate. Represents the method that will handle the string comparison. Remarks: The delegate has the signature int delegate(char[], char[]). class StringSorter ; Sorts strings according to the rules of the specified culture. this(StringComparer comparer = null); Creates an instance using the specified StringComparer. Params: StringComparer comparer The StringComparer to use when comparing strings. Optional. this(StringComparison comparison); Creates an instance using the specified delegate. Params: int delegate(char[], char[]) comparison The delegate to use when comparing strings. Remarks: The comparison parameter must have the same signature as StringComparison. void sort (ref char[][] array); Sorts all the elements in an array. Params: char[][] array The array of strings to sort. void sort (ref char[][] array, int index, int count); Sorts a range of the elements in an array. Params: char[][] array The array of strings to sort. int index The starting index of the range. int count The number of elements in the range. static StringSorter currentCulture (); Property. Retrieves an instance that performs a case-sensitive sort using the rules of the current culture. Returns: A StringSorter instance. static StringSorter currentCultureIgnoreCase (); Property. Retrieves an instance that performs a case-insensitive sort using the rules of the current culture. Returns: A StringSorter instance. static StringSorter invariantCulture (); Property. Retrieves an instance that performs a case-sensitive sort using the rules of the invariant culture. Returns: A StringSorter instance. static StringSorter invariantCultureIgnoreCase (); Property. Retrieves an instance that performs a case-insensitive sort using the rules of the invariant culture. Returns: A StringSorter instance.
