Want to use the word exit to break from a while statement 1

[ggreg]

how can I write code to break from a while statement using the
word exit...... in a char array that is use to enter names
I had been trying
while (trans.name !="exit&quot
but it will not end my loop...if I can not use exit because it is a char array
what does anyone suggest I use to break from my loop and how do I write the code?

thanks

maybe try:

if (strcmp(trans.name, "exit&quot == 0)
break;

if it is a char * string this should work.

More detail:

#include <string.h>
...

while (1)
{

if (strcmp(trans.name, &quot;exit&quot == 0)
break;

else
{
// your code
}

}

I'd rather write :
while (strcmp(trans.name, &quot;exit&quot != 0)
{
// my code
}
or
do {
// My code
} while (strcmp(trans.name, &quot;exit&quot != 0);

but it's hair cutting...
