Compare first n characters of strings ignoring case
strncmpi('str1','str2',n)
TF = strncmpi(S,T,n)
strncmpi('str1','str2',n)
returns 1 if the first n characters of the strings str1 and str2 are the same except for case, and 0 otherwise.
TF = strncmpi(S,T,n)
when either S or T is a cell array of strings, returns an array the same size as S and T containing 1 for those elements of S and T that match except for case (up to n characters), and 0 otherwise. S and T must be the same size (or one can be a scalar cell). Either one can also be a character array with the right number of rows.
strncmpi supports international character sets.
