Thread: *char comditional matching problem

let's say this code:

Code:

	
char bufferx[] = "abc~defghi"


char buf[111];

char *a_full_parm(const char *bufferx)
{
	int i =0;
	int j = 0;
	int bkm;




	for(i=0; i< 256; i++)  
	{
		if (bufferx[i] == '~')
		{
			bkm= i;
			for(j=0; j < bkm ; j++)
			{
				buf[j] = bufferx[j];


			
			}
			buf[j] = '\0';



			return buf;
		}
	}
}

how i need to match it


if (full_parm(buffer ) == "abc") <=== BIG PROBLEM
{do something}

BIG PROBLEM :
but i cant match it coz itz not exactly the same??
do i need to do casting??
how do i go about doing the matching to "abc" here?

you can't compare a char* to a hardcoded string in this fashion. Your logic is right, but things aren't happening as you would like them to.

Take Salem's advice.
