Comparation

I'm writing a remote control program, even thought i havn't got so far yet :rolleyes:

The clients sending code:

Code:

---


    //Send to server


    char buffer[256];        // On the stack

    ZeroMemory(buffer, 256);
    strcpy(buffer, "THEDAMNPASSWORD");
   
   
    nret = send(theSocket,
                    buffer,
                    256,        // Note that this specifies the length of the string; not
                                                  // the size of the entire buffer
                    0);                          // Most often is zero, but see MSDN for other options


    if (nret == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
            // Get a specific code
            // Handle accordingly
            return NETWORK_ERROR;
    }
    else
    {
          // nret contains the number of bytes sent
    }

        // Cleanup:
        closesocket(theSocket);
        WSACleanup();
}

The servers reciving code:

Code:

---


    char buffer[256];
    ZeroMemory(buffer, 256);
   
    nret = recv(theClient,
                    buffer,
                    256,                // Complete size of buffer
                    0);
                   
   
    if (nret == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
            // Get a specific code
            // Handle accordingly
            return NETWORK_ERROR;
    }
    else
    {   
        if(buffer == "THEDAMNPASSWORD")
        {
            cout << "Client sendt right password, YES! : " << buffer;
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "Nope, wrong: " << buffer << endl;
        }
    }

---

Now, the problem is that it says "Nope, wrong: THEDAMNPASSWORD" even thought it's the right password, what is wrong?

Use strcmp() to compare C-style strings.
In the same way you used strcpy() to copy it.

Works like a charm, thanks!
