I want to compare user input (text) with already declared string in c++ under linux (code::blocks) i made something like this, but it doesn't work
int LoadModule()
{
string test1 = "LOAD DEFAULT DATABASE";
string test2;
cout << "select cmd: " << endl;
cin >> test2;
//todo: compare thoose 2 strings. And if they are equal, print "done"
return 0;
}
You'll need to use std::getline() to input a std::string containing white space characters:
std::getline(std::cin, test2);
doing so a simple comparison
if(test1 == test2) {
std::cout << "Done!" << std::endl;
}
should work.
You should note that std::istream& operator>>(std::istream&, std::string&) will just copy from input up to the first whitespace character (' ', '\t', '\n') is met.
