problem with stdout

[quantt]

hello,
I necessary with your help.
I've next scrap code...

			if (inet_ntoa(header->dir) == "/usr/bin") {
			printf("%s  \n", inet_ntoa(header->dir));
			}

Why value doesn't be printed from header->dir? Condition has been executed, but value from structure doesn't printed. Possible I should to call structure element at one time or merely once?
I've a lot of similar calls, to suggested me whatever to do it very smart not hard? I just need impart designed my code.
thanks.

Perhaps you're trying to compare strings of char's, without using strcmp(string1, string2) == 0, type code?

You can't compare strings directly in C, like string1 == string2. That doesn't work.

Lika Adak says: You are comparing the result of the inet_ntoa() function with the the address of the string constant "/usr/bin" - since this string constant is MOST LIKELY not used in inet_ntoa(), the address isn't going to match.
