Thread: strcmp and strcpy error

hi, I have 3 std::string and I try to use strcmp and strcpy. but for both of them I've got this error "cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::string' to 'const char *'"

where is the problem?

I don't know if source code needed or not. so I didn't post it

That's your problem, right there. strcmp and strcpy are not designed for std::strings; the equivalents are == and =, respectively.

You mean I should use these?:

Code:

string1 = string2 // for copy

if (string1 == string2){
-----
-----
-----
} // and this for compare?

That is what the man said.
