C++ WinSock if statement, send message back.

[Moskis]

Hey! I got my C++ first Client/Server project almost done. It's a project that connects to the server and then if you write "Hello" the Server would reply with "World". It doesn't seem to work though. I got to the point where the client can write a message and server would say "Recieved the following message from the Client: " and it would print out the message after that.

My next and final step would be: if that message is Hello, then print out World back to Client. I have no idea how to do this though and I've tried for nearly 1,5 hour. This is how the server code is right now:

{
recv(sConnect, Message, sizeof(Message), NULL);
strmessage = Message;
	cout << "Received the following message from the Client " << Message << endl;
			getchar();

if(Message == "Hello"){
answer = send(sConnect, "World",6,NULL);
}
	} while(Message != "Exit");

It doesn't seem to work though :/

Try using the strcmp function.

{ 
recv(sConnect, Message, sizeof(Message), NULL);
         strmessage = Message; //Maybe this is a std::string ?
                      cout << "Received the following message from the client " << Message << endl;
                             getchar();

If( strcmp(strmessage.c_str(), "Hello") == NULL)
      answer = send(sConnect, "World", 6, NULL);


}while(Message != "Exit");

      answer = send(sConnect, "World", 6, NULL);


}while(Message != "Exit");

doesn't seem to work :/ Everything works except for the if part.

1) Do not write "World" into the function... use a char* ...

2)cout answer to see if the packet was received by the host. It should display a 6.

3)What does your client code look like? Need more info

I am not very familiar with C++ yet so please explain slowly!
