I am really wondering, what the right case is on Windows and what do
you need it for?
The Windows file system (NTFS) may be case-insensitive, but it is still
case-preserving. File names are written and stored in the file system
preserving the letters' case at all times. You can even rename a file
from lower-case to upper-case, and Windows will always list the file as
upper-case than.
I need this to compare for identity directory names that I received from
different sources (one is from the user who has edited &runtimepath, and
the other is from expanding ~/.vim/ with vim script commands).
And before you say I could make a case-insensitive string compare, I
also want my script to work under Unix/Linux or with a filesystem
different than NTFS, that is case-sensitive. And for such a file system,
a case-insensitive string compare would be wrong.
So what do I do to correctly compare file names that may reside on
either case-sensitive or case-insensitive file systems ?
Thank you,
Timothy Madden
