Re^2: Comparison by position and value

Your code appears to fail on '__8_3__19' and '84____7__', passing this as compatible when it should not be as the digit 8 appears in both strings in different positions.

It could be that in moving your function into my test script, I have broken it, but as your post doesn't contain a stand-alone testcase that I can run, I cannot verify this conjecture.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.

Silence betokens consent.

Love the truth but pardon error.

Are you sure it's my posted code? I just dropped your example into my test suite as an incompatible case and it passes. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

You're right, I screwed up. Sorry for the false call. Examine what is said, not who speaks. Silence betokens consent. Love the truth but pardon error.	[reply]
