However, this conversion is not necessary if you are comparing numbers in a script when you use "-eq" and "-ne" instead of "=" and "!="
Ygor brings up a good point that many people either forget or ignore. Integer comparison uses -eq, -lt, -gt, -ge etc while string comparison is done using = !=

fstrcasecmpi
fstrcasecmpi(3) Library Functions Manual fstrcasecmpi(3)
NAME
fstrcasecmpi - fuzzy comparison of two strings ignoring case
SYNOPSIS
#include <fstrcmp.h>
#define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
#define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
#define FSTRCMP_ERROR
int fstrcasecmpi(const char *string1, const char *string2);
DESCRIPTION
The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2, ignoring case.
RETURN VALUE
The fstrcasecmpi function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL. A value of 0 means the strings are utterly un-alike. A
value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDEN-
TICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.
A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure.
