STRCOMP – Spin Language Reference
Page 204 · Propeller Manual v1.1
Zero-Terminated Strings
The
STRCOMP command requires the strings being compared to be zero-terminated; a byte
equal to 0 must immediately follow each string. This practice is quite common and is
recommended since most string-handling methods rely on zero terminators.
