C# compare method

[C# newbie]

Hi Group,

Is there any method in C# search to ingnore the different between some
data which are "same in concept" but different in "the way are stored" ?
Let's say I'm doing a search against an xml data item like :

"What is your name?" but it's saved as "what is your name?"

Any idea?

Thanks in advance
Newbie

Have you checked out the Regex class yet? It's the DotNet version of
regular expressions. They handle situations such as what you want to do.

When you say "data", how generically are you speaking? Do you really
only care about strings, or do you want a more general answer.

To implement "same in concept" between two instances of your own
classes, You've want to implement the CompareTo method for that class.

Thanks
