I am Comparing a list of two strings in visualforce page using "Contains" function.But currently it retrieves only the exact match.Say,If the Name is Burlington it compares the name which contains "Burlington" but not "burlington".Is there some other way to check the same?

Page:

 <apex:outputPanel rendered="{!contains(wrap1.acc.Name,wrap2.acc2)}">

<apex:outputPanel rendered="{!contains(UPPER(wrap1.acc.Name),UPPER(wrap2.acc2))}">

Convert all to upper / lower case

  • By the way, @Pri, this is a trick you'll use for the rest of your life in data work (capitalizing or lowercasing both sides of the value comparison) -- so much so that you'll stop even thinking of it as a trick and just think of it as, "how you do a case-insensitive comparison!" Doesn't even really matter what the tool is. – k.. Sep 12 '16 at 20:09
