Can anyone tell me how to get these if statements to work? FILE *myfile = fopen(strFileName, "r"); char Chunk_Name[80]; while(fscanf(myfile, "%s" , Chunk_Name)) { if (Chunk_Name == "Bone") LoadBone(); if (Chunk_Name == "Chan") LoadChannel(); if (Chunk_Name == "Join") LoadJoint(); if (Chunk_Name == "PolH") LoadPolyhedron(); } Thanks

why not use a switch statement?

or bung some elses in there
if (Chunk_Name == "Bone")
LoadBone();
else if (Chunk_Name == "Chan")
LoadChannel();
else if (Chunk_Name == "Join")
LoadJoint();
else if (Chunk_Name == "PolH")
LoadPolyhedron();


then they are all part of one statement...
maybe...

Check out my shadows page
and send me some feedback

if(!strcmp(Chunk_Name, "Bone"))
LoadBone();

Dont try to use == with char* it will only give you grief, as you are experiencing now - use strcmp() to compare two strings for equality. When you do == with two char* the compiler will actually check the pointers to the first characters in the strings for equality not the actual value of the strings

Makes sense
