strcmp help

if(!strcmp(m_edit,"haha");
{
MessageBox("haha");
}
else
{
MessageBox("LOL");
}

is there anything wrong with this code???
how come my result is the "LOL" one even i enter the correct one
im using the VisualC++

strcmp() is telling you that the two strings are not the same. Since one string is a literal, I would suggest you check the contents of the other, because it is clearly not what you think it is!

and strcmp() is case sensitive. so 'm_edit' must contain 'haha', not 'Haha' or 'HAHA' and so on...

can i make it not case sensitive

Hey,

Yer you could convert the string to lowercase before you check it.(the one in the edit box).

Look into the function tolower() and use it before you do the strcmp.



Hope that helps.

yes, use strcmpi().

how to i use the strcmpi(); ????

or can i do like the word is Chris Sim
then i enter Chris only and it will return mi the result

From MSDN...

Code:

---

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

char string1[] = "The quick brown dog jumps over the lazy fox";
char string2[] = "The QUICK brown dog jumps over the lazy fox";

void main( void )
{
  char tmp[20];
  int result;
  /* Case sensitive */
  printf( "Compare strings:\n\t%s\n\t%s\n\n", string1, string2 );
  result = strcmp( string1, string2 );
  if( result > 0 )
      strcpy( tmp, "greater than" );
  else if( result < 0 )
      strcpy( tmp, "less than" );
  else
      strcpy( tmp, "equal to" );
  printf( "\tstrcmp:  String 1 is %s string 2\n", tmp );
  /* Case insensitive (could use equivalent _stricmp) */
  result = _stricmp( string1, string2 );
  if( result > 0 )
      strcpy( tmp, "greater than" );
  else if( result < 0 )
      strcpy( tmp, "less than" );
  else
      strcpy( tmp, "equal to" );
  printf( "\t_stricmp:  String 1 is %s string 2\n", tmp );
}


Output

Compare strings:
  The quick brown dog jumps over the lazy fox
  The QUICK brown dog jumps over the lazy fox

  strcmp:  String 1 is greater than string 2
  _stricmp:  String 1 is equal to string 2

The important thing was his quote "From MSDN..."

Some of the code on MSDN is ancient.......

>>> Watch out or you'll get an angry Prelude in the head.

LOL. Fordy explained. I'll refer her to Bill!
