I know how to get the parameters from the command line. I also know how to print them out.

The problem I'm having is how to compare the parameters from the argv[] array to a string. The progam runs but never returns a result where the parameter string is equal to the one I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

// Testing.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    for (int i = 0; i < argc; i = i + 1)
    {       
    if (argv[i] == _T("find"))
    {
        wcout << "found at position " << i << endl;
    }
    else
    {
        wcout << "not found at " << i << endl;
    }
}

return 0;
}
