The following code returns 1, -1 or 0. The 1 and -1 are essentially random, however it will return the same value every time the script is executed. 0 Is returned when, and only when, the strings are exactly equal.


integer compare(string s1, string s2) {

   if (s1 == s2) {
       return 0;
   } else if (llStringLength(s1) < llStringLength(s2)) {
       return 1;
   } else if (llStringLength(s1) > llStringLength(s2)) {
       return -1;
   } else {
       if (llStringLength(s1) > 32) {
           s1 = llMD5String(s1, 0);
           s2 = llMD5String(s2, 0);
       }
       integer i = 0;
       list l1 = llParseString2List(s1, [""], []);
       list l2 = llParseString2List(s2, [""], []);
       s1 = llStringToBase64(s1);
       s2 = llStringToBase64(s2);
       string com = "1234567890QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm=+";
       integer a;
       integer b;
       while (i < llStringLength(s1)) {
           a = llSubStringIndex(com, llList2String(l1, i));
           b = llSubStringIndex(com, llList2String(l2, i));
           if (a < b) {
               return -1;
           } else if (a > b) {
               return 1;
           }
           
           i++;
       }
   }
   return 0;

}
