Yeah, I did my own version as well, but it would be nice to have FindNoCase
built in.

The nice thing about our paradigm is that there are so many ways to do the
same sorts of things which gives each of us the opportunity to do it "our
way". I'm not sure I even know the definition of elegant any more.

Yeah, but writing

if(!s.Compare(_T("12345"))

is even more confusing than

if(s.Compare(_T("12345")) == 0)

I agree that the compare is less elegant than the operators - but I am
used to it.

I think == and Compare evaluate to the same code, but CompareNoCase() is
definitely useful. I wish there were a FindNoCase() equivalent.

Years ago when it was hard (for me at least) to get CString without MFC, I
wrote my own equivalent for non-MFC projects, and so that I could add
functions like this. I am thinking now of just deriving my classes from
CStringW and CStringA, abolishing all the members which I rewrote, and
keeping the extra ones. FindNoCase() would be easy enough by various
methods: just make a local copy of the two strings, set them both to lower
case, and then use Find(). There'll be more efficient wats if you work
harder of course :-)
