boolean exact(string a, string b)

Returns TRUE if the contents of string arguments a and b are identical, FALSE otherwise.

Unlike the equality operator (=), the exact function is case sensitive.

Examples

=exact("this is a string", "this is a string")

equals TRUE, while

=exact("This is a string", "this is a string")

equals FALSE, unlike

=("This is a string" = "this is a string")

which is TRUE (the equality operator is not case sensitive!).
