can i get some help?

[navilgameboy]

see. i am making my own "siri" type of thing, its really simple, if i type in open weather, a link to a weather site opens, but when i type in open weather, the website dosent open, so i made a else statement to see if the program is bugging or not working, as it turns out its not working, what am i doing wrong?

#include <iostream>

#include <Windows.h>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

/* run this program using the console pauser or add your own getch, system("pause") or input loop */






int main() 
{
	//----------------------------------------------------------CMDS
	int cmd = 0;
	//----------------------------------------------------------URLs
	string weather = "https://www.weather.com/"; //url
	//----------------------------------------------------------inputs
	char input[32];
	
	cout << "Hi i am your new and own assistent, my name is alex\n";
	
	Sleep (2000);
	
	cout << "i am pritty new, so youll have to write in commands for now\n";
	
	cin >> input ;
	
	
if (input == "open weather"){
	ShellExecute(NULL, "open", weather.c_str(), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}
else {
	cout << "fail\n";
}
	return 0;
}

char input[32];
Use string. Not an array of char.

so if i do a string instead, will it work?

[navilgameboy]

so this is what i did, but it still dosent work though

#include <iostream>

#include <Windows.h>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

/* run this program using the console pauser or add your own getch, system("pause") or input loop */






int main() 
{
	//----------------------------------------------------------CMDS
	int cmd = 0;
	//----------------------------------------------------------URLs
	string weather = "https://www.weather.com/"; //url
	//----------------------------------------------------------inputs
	string input;
	
	cout << "Hi i am your new and own assistent, my name is alex\n";
	
	Sleep (2000);
	
	cout << "i am pritty new, so youll have to write in commands for now\n";
	
	cin >> input ;
	
	
if (input == "open weather"){
	ShellExecute(NULL, "open", weather.c_str(), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}
else {
	cout << "fail\n";
}
	return 0;
}

Put this in line 32:
cout << "You entered: " << input << '\n';

#include <iostream>

#include <Windows.h>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

/* run this program using the console pauser or add your own getch, system("pause") or input loop */






int main() 
{
	//----------------------------------------------------------CMDS
	int cmd = 0;
	//----------------------------------------------------------URLs
	string weather = "https://www.weather.com/"; //url
	//----------------------------------------------------------inputs
	string input;
	
	cout << "Hi i am your new and own assistent, my name is alex\n";
	
	Sleep (2000);
	
	cout << "i am pritty new, so youll have to write in commands for now\n";
	
	getline(cin, input);
	
if (input == "open weather"){
	ShellExecute(NULL, "open", weather.c_str(), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

1 more thing, how can i make it so it loops forever when you type in what it wants alex(the program) to do?

[Repeater]

while(true)
{
  // forever loop
}
