While listening to Frank Adam Pete heard:strwildcmp :)

G'day Frank

I've never noticed this, what compiler are you using.

The code below returns 0, 1 & -1 with my compiler (QC25)

#include 

int main(void) {

int retval;

    retval = strcmp("aa0","aa0");
    retval = strcmp("aa2","aa1");
    retval = strcmp("aa1","aa2");

    return 0;

}
