Comparing parts of a string with another string!

[sebbe605]

Hi, im wondering if there is a way to compare two strings that aren't identical with each other.

instance:

str1="ABC123";
str2="A****3";

if(str1==str2)
{
cout << "It's a match";
}

Yes, with a semicolon after str2 (line 2).

string str1="ABC123";
string str2="A****3";

if(str1==str2)
{
     cout << "It's a match";
}

Sorry forgot that. However my question is not "can i check if two strings are the same" but if some parts of the two strings are the same.

For instance if some letters in one string is == to some letters in another string.

eg, search an array for names starting with m and ending with e:
mike == m**e;

Does that make sense?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

string str1="ABC123"; string str2="A****3"; for(char w1 : str1) for(char w2 : str2) { if(w1 == w2) std::cout << w1 << " is present in both strings\n"; continue; }

A is present in both strings 3 is present in both strings

My command line for building a code is:

g++ -Wall -Wextra -std=c++11 -pedantic -o qaz qaz.cpp

Note that the program is built according to C++11 standard.

It's a match with your problem?
