# wcscmp

### Function

> wcscmp

### Syntax

> wcscmp( WStr1, WStr2 );

### Parameters

**\[WStr1]**

A [MASM-like expression](https://docs.hyperdbg.org/commands/scripting-language/assumptions-and-evaluations) or a wide-character string to compare with **WStr2**.

**\[WStr2]**

A [MASM-like expression](https://docs.hyperdbg.org/commands/scripting-language/assumptions-and-evaluations) or a wide-character string to compare with **WStr1**.

### Description

Compares the wide-character string ***WStr1*** to the wide-character string ***WStr2***.

{% hint style="info" %}
Wide-character strings are started with an **L** character before the quotations. For example **L"This is a wide-character string"**.
{% endhint %}

### Return value

Returns an integer value indicating the relationship between the strings:<br>

| Return Value | Indicates                                                                                    |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <0           | The first wide-character that does not match has a lower value in *WStr1* than in *WStr2.*   |
| 0            | The contents of both wide-character strings are equal.                                       |
| >0           | The first wide-character that does not match has a greater value in *WStr1* than in *WStr2.* |

### Examples

``wcscmp(fffff806`6de00000, @rax+c0);``

Compare the wide-character string located at ``fffff806`6de00000`` with the wide-character string located at `@rax+c0`.

`wcscmp(@rcx, L"Test WString");`

Compare the wide-character string located at `@rcx` with the wide-character string `L"Test WString"`.

`wcscmp(L"Test WString1", L"Test WString2");`

Compare the wide-character string `L"Test WString1"` with the wide-character string `L"Test WString2"`.

### Remarks

This function checks for the validity of both the source and the destination address before the comparison.

The support for this function is added from **v0.7**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hyperdbg.org/commands/scripting-language/functions/strings/wcscmp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
