not displaying 1 character

[SteveCRM]

having some trouble, could anyone stear me in the right direction?

char test;
bool StartCopy = false;
int holder = 1;
for i=1; i<=sizeof(big); i++)  {
     test = big[1];
     if(test == '*')  {
          StartCopy == true;
          MessageBox(ghWnd_Main, "COPY = TRUE!", "Copy Test", MB_OK);
     }
     else if(StartCopy == true)  {
          linkURL[holder] = big[i];
          holder++;
     }
     //MessageBox(ghWnd_Main, linkURL, "linkURL", MB_OK);
}
//MessageBox(ghWnd_Main, &test, "test", MB_OK);

I can't get it to check if the first character is a *...I want the "Copy Test" messagebox to pop up.
