Post subject: player name help

Ok, I am making a command: !makeguesser [name]. I put the things for input in commands.cpp but now I need to know how to make it so that the name specified will be changed to a certain frequency and ship. Help?

Code: Show/Hide

if (c->check("makeguesser"))
{
if(*c->final != NULL)
{
_listnode <Player> *parse = playerlist->head;

Player *p = parse->item;

      while (parse)
      {
         if (strcmp(p->name,c->final)==0)
{
            sendPrivate(p,"*setfreq 100"); // replace 100 with freq
sendPrivate(p,"*setship 1"); // replace 1 with ship
break;
}

         parse = parse->next;
      }
}
}

It says "strcmp" is has an undeclared identifier. How do I declare it?

Isn't it dangerous to declare a second Player *p. The function botInfo::gotCommand allready has a parameter Player *p.

depends on your compiler, it will spit out an error if it has a problem. Else it is fine. You could also do parse->item->name, no need for a pointer

It looks better to do "p = parse->item", though; How do you code, 50%?
Without code?

While I think it's bad style, declaring a variable of the same name inside any braces creates a new "version" that is locally scoped. As soon as you leave the braces, the higher level one "exists" again. This is a C standard.

Jag, if you just google "c++ strcmp", you can instantly find what library you need
