WARNING: this is a multibyte problem which would be trivial on singlebyte OSs.
Suppose you have a multibyte OS such as Japanese. You have two strings sourceStr and tokenStr. You want to find out if tokenStr matches sourceStr EXACTLY at the very start of sourceStr. We assume that sourceStr is very large and tokenStr is small. Here is one solution. Use TxtFindString () to see if there is a match, and then see if the match is at the beginning of sourceStr. However, this is extremely wasteful. Unless I am missing something, I don't see any other solution. According to the documentation, TxtCompare () is not appropriate for this job. Do you?
