Like Symbol#<=>, but case-insensitive;
|
|
equivalent to <tt>self.to_s.casecmp(object.to_s)</tt>:
|
|
|
|
lower = :abc
|
|
upper = :ABC
|
|
upper.casecmp(lower) # => 0
|
|
lower.casecmp(lower) # => 0
|
|
lower.casecmp(upper) # => 0
|
|
|
|
Returns nil if +self+ and +object+ have incompatible encodings,
|
|
or if +object+ is not a symbol:
|
|
|
|
sym = 'äöü'.encode("ISO-8859-1").to_sym
|
|
other_sym = 'ÄÖÜ'
|
|
sym.casecmp(other_sym) # => nil
|
|
:foo.casecmp(2) # => nil
|
|
|
|
Unlike Symbol#casecmp?,
|
|
case-insensitivity does not work for characters outside of 'A'..'Z' and 'a'..'z':
|
|
|
|
lower = :äöü
|
|
upper = :ÄÖÜ
|
|
upper.casecmp(lower) # => -1
|
|
lower.casecmp(lower) # => 0
|
|
lower.casecmp(upper) # => 1
|
