Thread: Char - test Help

How would i make this value be test???

char testing[256]; //NEEDS TO EQUAL test

im just guessing
char testing[256][test];
char testing[256]["test"];
char testing[256, test];


Problem Fixed thanks to kirby

There is no point in having a buffer that large lol, just allocate enough space for the characters and the null terminator.

Yes there is, he does not necessarily have to be storing the value test and may use it later :P

Well it just appeared to me he was using it to hold "test". :P

yah im using that to store test, to match it up with an other value and if the values are the same, it does the function but it isnt working why?

Talked to you on IRC about this already, but will say for public in case someone is curious.

You can compare strings using strcmp(string1, string2)==0 . If this is true, they are the same.

thank you null, ill try to hit you up on irc later if your on

you could also use strstr(string 1, string2) if the strings your comparing don't have to be identical, so instead you look for the first occurence of "test" in the string, the same principle applies, if true then it was found etc etc

dunno if this might come in useful.

ahh thanks.
