Thread: basic if statements

hello, i seem to be having a problem with my if statement for my basic program. I have a while loop that goes through a file and assigns certain values to a string str. The while loop works and correctly assigns the values to str however when i run my if styatements to filter out certain criteria, all statements get printed out even if it only find 1 match for some reason. Ive checked my if statement structure and it looks right to me, could anyone offer suggestions?

Code:

string str;

while ()
{
//loop through a file assigning values to 'str'

}

printf("%s", str);   // test print which shows while loop works

if(strcmp ("dog", str) == 1)
	       {   
             printf("dog has found \n");
             memset(str, 0, sizeof(str));
      	 }
      	 else if (strcmp ("cat", str) == 1)
      	 {
      	   printf("cat has found ");
      	                memset(str, 0, sizeof(str));
      	 }
      	 else 
      	 {
      	   printf("tortose");
      	                memset(str, 0, sizeof(str));
      	 }

thanks

tanks for the input, ive had a mess about but it still wont work with anything. Say the whille loop returns the string values

i have a dog
lots of cats
dogs and bears

my structure with an '==0' or "001" doesnt function as i hoped, it either runs stright through to the last catch all else statement or prints them all
