    lose the quotes:

    Code:
    if (something == command[j])
    {
    ...
    }
    That what u mean?

    Code:
    if (command[j] == ' \ '')
         // do something
    Without the spaces.

    What data types are you using char arrays or the string class?

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
       string s2[] = { "test", "testing", "tested" };
       
       for(int i=0; i < 3; i++)
          if("test" == s2[i])
             cout << "26" << endl;
          else
             cout << s2[i] << endl;
       
       return 0;
    }
    You cannot test char arrays like this. You need a 2D char array and strcmp.
    I haven't used a compiler in ages, so please be gentle as I try to reacclimate myself. :P
