or _stricmp() for a lower-case comparison.
As long as your compiler supports that function.Originally Posted by Bubba
strncmp() is another standard function you can use if you only want to compare part of a string.

stricmp variant is for case insensitivity. Not "lowercase".
Just so you're aware of what's going, you're comparing pointers. So instead of comparing the array like you want to, you're comparing two variables that contain memory addresses. So unless the two pointers both point to the exact same location in memory, they're not equal - even if they point to the same data.if (string1==string2)
strcmp compares the arrays element by element.
