strcmp help...

Hi, I've made a program to type out a bunch of text put into the char "sentence". one problem is that the text won't fit to the window. Is there possibly a way to set borderlines for the text? if not then i need some help with strcmp. i have it so it takes the array number, and type it out. and if the array number character is a period, then it makes a new line but i get an error message saying "cannot convert char to const char*" or something.

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
        char sentence[4000]= "This is a test. It should've made a new line there but it didn't. plz help!";
        int x;
        for(x=0; x<=3999; x++)
        {
                if(strcmp(sentence[x],".") cout<<"\n";
                cout<<sentence[x];
        }
        cin.get();
        return(0);
}

This is probably closer to what you are after:

Code:

---

      if ( sentence[x] == '.') cout<<"\n";

Yes. You are using strcmp() and the first argument you are passing is not a string.

O, thank you so much dave!
if anyone wants the working code, here it is:

Code:

---

/****

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "windows.h"
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
        char sentence[4000]= "This is a test.hello.hi.It workS!!!1!.~Wiiplayer12";
        int x;
        for(x=0; x<=3999; x++)
        {
                cout<<sentence[x];
                Sleep(50);
                if(sentence[x]=='.'){
                        cout<<"\n";
                }       
        }
        cin.get();
        return(0);
}

Working? Even if it will scan the array outside your string bounds?
