Dammned Variables

[Azz00]

This is driving me nut's

why wont this work... and i know for a fact the pkt.u.buf variable contains the string i want

err = dpGetPlayerName(myDP, idFrom, nameBuf, sizeof(nameBuf));
pkt.u.buf[size-sizeof(dp_packetType_t)] = 0; /* Null terminate */


if (pkt.u.buf == "<userlist") {
printf("CALLED")
}

it just dosent activate the stament. and i dont know why

Your code is taken out of context and nearly impossible to read. But I guess pkt.u.buf is a char array.

You can't compare C-style strings this way. You have to use strcmp.
