if Statement, easier way?

**Shakespeare** · 05-14-2003

I have an array of structs holding amongst other things a list of ip Addresses, these ip Addresses are the users on my system.

I want to convert these ip addreses to the names of my users. Since there are 50+ users on my system i would like to know if there is a better and hopefully shorter way than an if statement to change them. i Have

Code:

   if (db[i].ipAddress == "10.0.0.101")
	db[i].ipAddress = "A User" ;
   else if (db[i].ipAddress == "10.0.0.102")
	db[i].ipAddress = "A User" ;
......etc, etc

p.s A switch wouldn't work, and thats not much shorter anyway

Thanks a lot

If you are storing the IP address in a string as you appear to be, you can use strcmp() to compare your variable with the literals...

Code:

if (!strcmp(db[i].ipAddress, "10.0.0.101"))
	db[i].ipAddress = "A User" ;
else if (!strcmp(db[i].ipAddress, "10.0.0.102"))
	db[i].ipAddress = "B User" ;
