Comparing string contents

What I want is to be able to take the user input with cin and store it in a string. Then, by using a function, check to see if the string matches something.

To clarify

Code:

---

string input;
cin >> input;

---

Then I want to check to see if "input" matches another string, to give a conditional response. How would I set up that part? I tried creating other strings and placing if stements that compared them, but I think it said that it couldn't convert them into boolean statements.



Sorry if I'm being too confusing. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Post all the code including the comparison code.

std::string comparison uses ==, e.g.

Code:

---

std::string str1;
std::cin >> str1;

std::string str2;
std::cin >> str2;

if(str1 == str2) {
  std::cout << "Strings match" << std::endl;
} else {
  std::cout << "Strings don't match" << std::endl;
}

---

Ok, the == was what I was missing. Thank you.
