CompareStrings

Compares two strings up to a specified number of characters.
Parameters:
str1 - String to be compared.
str2 - String to be compared.
matchCase - Comparison will be case-sensitive.
maxLength - Maximum number of characters to compare. A value of -1 indicates an infinite length.
Returns:
A value indicating the relationship between the strings:
<0 - The first non-matching character in 'str1' is less than the one in 'str2'. (e.g. 'A' < 'B', so result = -1)
0 - The contents of both strings are equal.
>0 - The first non-matching character in 'str1' is less than the one in 'str2'. (e.g. 'B' > 'A', so result = 1)
Examples:
MISC::COMPARE_STRINGS("STRING", "string", false, -1); // 0; equal
MISC::COMPARE_STRINGS("TESTING", "test", false, 4); // 0; equal
MISC::COMPARE_STRINGS("R2D2", "R2xx", false, 2); // 0; equal
MISC::COMPARE_STRINGS("foo", "bar", false, -1); // 4; 'f' > 'b'
MISC::COMPARE_STRINGS("A", "A", true, 1); // 0; equal
When comparing case-sensitive strings, lower-case characters are greater than upper-case characters:
MISC::COMPARE_STRINGS("A", "a", true, 1); // -1; 'A' < 'a'
MISC::COMPARE_STRINGS("a", "A", true, 1); // 1; 'a' > 'A'
