I am trying to compare a couple of strings and am getting some odd results. 1.) I have a drop down list with some text in it, one word has an apostrophe in it. Like 'Isn't'. When I grab the text from the control and pass it to my compare function, in the debugger is see it displayed as 'Isn\'t'. Of course this fails the StrCaselessCompare because the word I am comparing it to comes from a database and is passed in as 'Isn't'. Any suggestions as how I can get the \ out of the control text or how to get these two to compare? 2.) Also with StrCaselessCompare, maybe related to above, I have a string with parentheses in it like 'Cars (Ford)', but when I do a compare with a passed in string, from my db, it fails even though the passed in string is identical, 'Cars(Ford)'. Does this have something to do with the parentheses? Any suggestions?
