Problem with strcmp

[PowerNuke]

Hi,

In the following code, as far as I can tell, I get identical strings, but strcmp does not return 0.

{

int controlLoop = 0, charLoop = 0, index = -1;
char stateSelect[STATESIZE] = { '\0' };

for ( controlLoop = 0; controlLoop < STATES; controlLoop++ )
{
if ( controlLoop % 3 == 0 )
printf( &quot;\n&quot; );
printf( &quot;%-25s&quot;, array[controlLoop].stateName );
}

printf(&quot; \n\n\n&quot; );
printf( &quot;Select State for Display or (E)xit:\n\n&quot; );
scanf( &quot;%s&quot;, &stateSelect );

stateSelect[0] = toupper( stateSelect[0] );
for ( charLoop = 1; charLoop < STATESIZE; charLoop++ )
{
if ( isalpha(stateSelect[charLoop] == 0 ))
stateSelect[charLoop] = '\0';
else
stateSelect[charLoop] = tolower( stateSelect[charLoop] );
}

printf(&quot;%s*&quot;, stateSelect);
printf(&quot;\n%s*\n&quot;, array[1].stateName);

for ( controlLoop = 0; controlLoop < STATES; controlLoop++ )
{

if ( strcmp( stateSelect, array[charLoop].stateName ) == 0 )
index = controlLoop;
}

return index;

}

I added the printf statements witht the &quot;*&quot; for debugging. They print out identically with the &quot;*&quot; immediately following the last letter in both cases.

Any help would be appreciated.

Never Mind folks! My stupid error. If you'll notice, I reference the wrong loop control variable in the last loop. :/

Oh well.
