processing command line args

Here is my program:

Code:

---

int main( int argc, char *argv[] ){

    if( argc == 2 ){

        cout << "Found an argument." << endl;

        cout << argv[1] << endl; // Displays 'auto' to the screen.

        if( argv[1] == "auto" ){ // This statement is NOT true...

            cout << "Found 'auto' argument." << endl;
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

---

The argument is found no problem, but the second if statement is NOT true. Why? Do I need to overload the operator==?

Help please.

You can either use strcmp(), or use std::string, e.g.,

Code:

---

if (std::string(argv[1]) == "auto")

---

At the moment the code is just comparing pointers, not strings.

Wow. So simple! Thank you.
