Is there a command to check if a string exists?

I'm trying to make a database where you enter a name and it gives you the persons details.

How are you storing the person's details?

[kempofighter]

There are all kinds of find algorithms and std::string has member functions to do similar things. It really depends on what your database consists of. Even if you are using c-arrays you can still use std algorithms to find substrings or objects with particular properties.

Oh nevermind then I'll explore it myself when I get to algorithms. I didn't know they were needed :p

Comparison between strings is as easy as string == string;, no?

But if I have a database of 120 persons, will i have to use 120 if's?

[Galik]

No.

But your question is a bit like asking "What colour is a piece of string?".

Well it depends on which tin of paint you dunk it in...
