I finally decided to start with a litte C++ programming, I'm currently working on my second program (the  first was the simple Hello World program)

Now to my question.
Is it possible to use 'if' statements to create a option if a user types in a certain text?

Like if someone wrote 'Hello', it give the text 'Hey you!', All this works with numbers, but not with text. How should I write it? and EXPLAIN! have only worked with C++ for a few days.

Thanks in advance

Yeah. Easily possible. But dunno enough about C++.

I think you need to use "==" with a table, or something like that.
You need a table that can store caracters, then compare the value of the table with your "Hello"...

okay... how do I create a table? been look for tutorials, but not found anything about tables... will look again though...

I think you're looking for the "case" operator. Eg, you can create a statement evaluating the input variable, and assign a 2nd variable to whatever you want based on the first variable.  Essentially with "case" you can create a table of possible inputs and associated variable assignments based on which one is entered.

I haven't used C++ much myself, but that sounds like what you're trying to do...  Lookup "case"

Boy, with programming knowledge you really have to use it to keep it in your mind.  Back in the day I'm sure I could have hooked you up.  Today, the best I can come up with is this useless post.

Sorry.

Sorry, I missed the part that said "it works with numbers..."  - make sure you're declaring the variables as "char", and you may have to use quotes around the variable assignment.  Also be careful with "new line" characters (like \n), which can mess up a match from time to time...

It might be useful if you posted your code sample so we can actually see what it is you're trying to do.

*shakes head*

Anyway, I could've have told you how to do it in VB a few months ago... Forgot most of that, though.  Heh.

you need to store the text in a variable, like bob then do

if(bob == "JIM")
{
dothis
}
else if(bob == "NOT-JIM"){
dothat
}else{
do the other}

So true, so true.

Got me on the last part, but the first part's way off... I'm going to be using 3DStudio.
