Thread: Comparation

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

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.
