Subj : How do I string compare two strings, one Unicode and the other char*. In Borland C++ V5.5. To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : D Date : Wed Sep 28 2005 05:17 am Hi, Can somebody tell me how to perform a string comparision of two strings, one string is Unicode and the other a char*? The following isn't working for me. Am I using the correct string comparison functions? wchar_t* name = (wchar_t*) "fred"; if (wcscmp(name, (wchar_t*) "fred") == 0) { // never enters here. } regards, Duncan .
