    Yes, if S1 and S2 are CString, operators (<, <=, >=, >, ==, and !=) works very well. If they are char streams, use strcmp function. Operator overloading is not done for char streams.

    in fact i think i did not express the problem correctly: i don´t want to egalise two string, but to compare two strings. ( sorry for my english):sigh:

        then why does the code: c1='aaa bbb ccc'; f1='aaa bbb ccc'; cout< _return on screen: c c 0_

          but what does equalize mean for you ?? and in what does it differ from comparing 2 strings ? also, don't hesitate to tell what kind of string you use (me know that you use std::string, but most people who replied here didn't know that, hence the CString references) to avoid bad answers

            I think you have to understand how strings function. What are c1 and f1 ? char pointers, std::string or CString ? Without knowing that we can't really help you. If these are standard char pointers, you need to use strcpy to be able to store one string in the array (but first, it must be allocated with enough size). Then, you can compare two strings using strcmp function. Everything has already been told before. So a code example: char string1[255]; char string2[255]; strcpy(string1,"Test"); strcpy(string2,"Test"); if (strcmp(string1,string2) == 0) cout << "Strings are equal"; else cout << "Strings are different"; Check the documentation of the functions on MSDN to be sure you understood correctly the concept.

                I suspect he made an assumption based on the fact the code was using the '==' operator to attempt the comparison, but could obviously be wrong.

                    I think the OP was using the == operator with char pointers and that's why it didn't work.

                        Hello, I would like to compare two strings: i used: if (s1==s2) { I have no problem to compile, but even when s1=s2 it doesnt work...

                              very bad thing to post a huge block of code and tell to anyone to see what's wrong with it... you must post relevant samples, and try to understand which are the incriminated lines. and use your debugger if you can

                                      Oula je ne suis pas du tout enervé, choqué, ou autre. Je bois les paroles de tous ceux qui postent un message sur ce forum car je n´ai a mon actif ke 30h de langage c++. Je n´y connais pas grand chose. :) Je suis actuellement en stage et je dois realiser ce programme. Cela fait maintenant une semaine que je suis dessus, et je sens qu´il est tout près d´aboutir. Désolé si ma réponse a pu paraitre sèche, ce n´etait pas du tout l´esprit du message. C´est l´effet message ecrit qui ne transcrit pas le ton de la voix. :)
