CompareMemory

Result = CompareMemory(SrcAddress, DestAddress, NumberOfBytes)

Parameters:     SrcAddress = The Starting address in memory to compare     DestAddress = The destination address to compare     NumberOfBytes = The Number of bytes to compare

Returns:     Result = The if the two chunks of memory are the same then the function will return a True(1), it not, it'll return false(0)

The CompareMemory function compares if two sections of the memory are the same or not. FACTS:       * CompareMemory is dealing with raw memory, as such, PB can not protect you from making mistakes. Thus CompareMemory assumes the memory addresses you give it are valid, if not, you should expect your program to crash !       * CompareMemory is the fastest way of comparing runs of bytes in PlayBASIC. Mini Tutorial:       This sample creates two banks of memory, fills one bank then copies that data to the second bank then uses CompareMemory to validate it.       ; The bank of the banks   Size=10    ; create src bank   SrcBank=NewBank(Size)    ; Fill this bank with values zero to size   For lp=0 To Size-1      PokeBankByte SrcBank,lp,lp   Next       ; create a second bank   DestBank=NewBank(Size)       ; Calc the Src Address of the memory to copy   SrcAddress=GetBankPtr(SrcBank)    ; Calc tyhe destination address   DestAddress=GetBankPtr(DestBank)    ; Copy the Memory from the SRC bank to the DEST Bank   CopyMemory SrcAddress,DestAddress,Size       ; Compare two banks of memory ?      If CompareMemory(SrcAddress,DestAddress,Size)=true      Print "Memory is the same"   Else      Print "Memory is not the same"   EndIf          ;refresh the screen and wait for a key press   Sync   WaitKey       This example should output.      Memory is the same
