If doesn't work

I have this function in dll. and if I call this DLL so that sometext = "green" then in MessageBox i see "green" but this if sentence doen't work.

How should I modify my if sentence?

Code:

// a sample exported function
void DLL_EXPORT SomeFunction(const LPCSTR sometext)
{
    MessageBoxA(0, sometext, "DLL Message", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
    //remove( sometext );

	HANDLE hstdout = GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );
	CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
	GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo( hstdout, &csbi );
	SetConsoleTextAttribute( hstdout, 0x07 );
  if (sometext == "green") {
 SetConsoleTextAttribute( hstdout, 0x0A );
 printf ("Iam green: ");
  }
}

OffTopic:Can I make that DLL create it's own cmd window?

You can't compare C strings with ==, you must use strcmp.

In C++ you use std::string and then == works just fine.
But seeing as it's an exported function, I would go with rags_to_riches' suggestion in this case.

tnx, just 1 question more how to modify that function so that it uses 1st 2 chars to set text color and then print everything that is after 2nd char?
