strnatcmp

Synopsis

int strnatcmp(string one, string two)

Compares two strings; returns a number less than 0 if one is less than two, 0 if the two strings are equal, and a number greater than 0 if one is greater than two. The comparison is case-sensitive—that is, “Alphabet” and “alphabet” are not considered equal. The strnatcmp( ) function uses a “natural order” algorithm—numbers in the strings are compared more naturally than computers normally do. For example, the values “1”, “10”, and “2” are sorted in that order by strcmp( ), but strnatcmp( ) orders them “1”, “2”, and “10”.
