Gameplay::compareStrings

Compares two strings up to a specified number of characters.

Parameters:
str1 - String to be compared.
str2 - String to be compared.
matchCase - Comparison will be case-sensitive.
maxLength - Maximum number of characters to compare. A value of -1 indicates an infinite length.

Returns:
A value indicating the relationship between the strings:
<0 - The first non-matching character in 'str1' is less than the one in 'str2'. (e.g. 'A' < 'B', so result = -1)
0 - The contents of both strings are equal.
>0 - The first non-matching character in 'str1' is less than the one in 'str2'. (e.g. 'B' > 'A', so result = 1)

Examples:
GAMEPLAY::COMPARE_STRINGS('STRING', 'string', false, -1); // 0; equal
GAMEPLAY::COMPARE_STRINGS('TESTING', 'test', false, 4); // 0; equal
GAMEPLAY::COMPARE_STRINGS('R2D2', 'R2xx', false, 2); // 0; equal
GAMEPLAY::COMPARE_STRINGS('foo', 'bar', false, -1); // 4; 'f' > 'b'
GAMEPLAY::COMPARE_STRINGS('A', 'A', true, 1); // 0; equal

When comparing case-sensitive strings, lower-case characters are greater than upper-case characters:
GAMEPLAY::COMPARE_STRINGS('A', 'a', true, 1); // -1; 'A' < 'a'
GAMEPLAY::COMPARE_STRINGS('a', 'A', true, 1); // 1; 'a' > 'A'
