    How do I remove multi character constant warning?

    Here's the line of code with the warning

    Code:
       if((addressbook[3][num][4]=='-')&&(strlen(addressbook[3][num])=='10'))
    Or what might be the possible causes of such a warning?

    Code:
       if((addressbook[3][num][4]=='-')&&(strlen(addressbook[3][num])=='10'))
    strlen() returns a number. Why do you want to compare it with a multi character constant ('10')?

    Bye, Andreas
