Description of the 'wcsncmp' function in HyperDbg Scripts

Function

wcsncmp

Syntax

wcsncmp( WStr1, WStr2, Num );

Parameters

[WStr1]

A MASM-like expression or a wide-character string to compare with WStr2.

[WStr2]

A MASM-like expression or a wide-character string to compare with WStr1.

[Num]

Maximum number of characters to compare.

Description

Compares up to Num characters of the wide-character string WStr1 to the wide-character string WStr2.

If the characters are equal, the comparison continues with the next pair of characters. This process repeats until the characters differ, a terminating null character is encountered, or Num characters have been compared in both strings, whichever occurs first.

Wide-character strings are started with an L character before the quotations. For example L"This is a wide-character string".

Return value

Returns an integer value indicating the relationship between the strings:

Return ValueIndicates

<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

wcsncmp(fffff806`6de00000, @rax+c0, 0n12);

Compare the the first 12 (decimal) characters of the wide-character string located at fffff806`6de00000 with the wide-character string located at @rax+c0.

wcsncmp(@rcx, L"Test WString", 12);

Compare the first 0x12 (hexadecimal) characters of the wide-character string located at @rcx with the wide-character string L"Test WString".

wcsncmp(L"Test WString1", L"Test WString2", 0n10);

Compare the first 10 (decimal) characters of the wide-character string L"Test WString1" with the wide-character string L"Test WString2".
