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

    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.

      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 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.

                      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

                                    to me, compare is looking at 2 objects and see if they are equal or not. egalise a and b is a=b (change the value of a or b so that it is equal to the other value) is it clear :doh:

                                        to me, compare is looking at 2 objects and see if they are equal or not. egalise a and b is a=b (change the value of a or b so that it is equal to the other value) is it clear :doh:

                                        ok, i get what's your problem then... you are trying to speak english with french words ;P don't say equalize but assign. anyway, as you're using std::strings, just use the = operator for this, and == operator to compare their content.

                                        std::string s1 = "Hello";
                                        std::string s2 = "World";

                                        ASSERT(s1 != s2); // the objects contain different strings

                                        s1 = s2; //Assign s2 content into s1
                                        ASSERT(s1 == s2); // the objects contain same strings

                                          OK, just to see if i have caught what you said: I should use == to compare if string s1 has the same content with string s2. That´s it? Because I already have tried that and it doesn´t work...:((
