    Tell if a string is empty?

    Is there any way to tell if a string is empty... such as:

    char name[10];

    if (name=="EMPTY??")
    {
    do this
    }

    Any help would be great!!

    if (name[0]==0){
        do this
    }

    How about using the string class?

    Code:
    #include <string>
    
    using std::string;
    
    string name;
    
    if(name.empty()) {
        // do stuff
    }
