case insensitive Pos

Question

Is there any comparable function like Pos that is not case-sensitive in D2010 (unicode)?

I know I can use Pos(AnsiUpperCase(FindString), AnsiUpperCase(SourceString)) but

Answer 1

Instead 'AnsiUpperCase' you can use Table it is much faster. I have reshape my old code. It is very simple and also very fast. Check it:

type
  TAnsiUpCaseTable = array [AnsiChar] of AnsiChar;

var
  AnsiTable: TAnsiUpCaseTable;

procedure InitAnsiUpCaseTable(var Table: TAnsiUpCaseTable);
var
  n: cardinal;
begin
  for n := 0 to SizeOf(TAnsiUpCaseTable) -1 do
  begin
    AnsiTable[AnsiChar(n)] := AnsiChar(n);
    CharUpperBuff(@AnsiTable[AnsiChar(n)], 1);
  end;
end;

function UpCasePosEx(const SubStr, S: string; Offset: Integer = 1): Integer;
var
  n              :integer;
  SubStrLength   :integer;
  SLength        :integer;
label
  Fail;
begin
  SLength := length(s);
  if (SLength > 0) and (Offset > 0) then begin
    SubStrLength := length(SubStr);
    result := Offset;
    while SubStrLength <= SLength - result + 1 do begin
      for n := 1 to SubStrLength do
        if AnsiTable[SubStr[n]] <> AnsiTable[s[result + n -1]] then
          goto Fail;
      exit;
Fail:
      inc(result);
    end;
  end;
  result := 0;
end;

initialization
  InitAnsiUpCaseTable(AnsiTable);
end.
