Hi,

What are the differences in the two functions Compare and lstrcmp for comparing strings?

Cheers,

Pete

same, just one is member function of string class while the other is a standard C function that will take two LPCSTR. For example, if you have

char szTemp[10];
lstrcpy(szTemp,"AA");
char szTemp1[10];
lstrcpy(szTemp, "BB");

then you can only use lstrcmp,
or you will need to do things like

string strTemp = szTemp;
if(strTemp.Compare(szTemp1)!=0) { }
