You're saying "does this pointer to a character array have the same value (point to the same location) as this other pointer to a character array?"

You need to convert one of them to a string class, then use the equals override:

Code: Select all

core::stringc myShip = "myShip";
if (myShip == this->getName())

thx a lot for the fast Answhere, it works now.

Or - using random's approach - replace the comparison with a strcmp call.
