String Comparasion Error

Question

Hello, I'm having trouble with checking a user inserted string with an array of strings, my code is pretty self explained. I saw this post when I searched for solutions, but it didn't really help me. There is probably some super silly error, but I can't find it..

Thanks for helping! :D

Btw: I'm using C#

     void inputReg()
     {
         for (int i = 0; i < 100;)
         {
             print(input + " and " + GetComponent<codeScript>().keys[i, 0]); //this prints for example "help and help"
             if (input == GetComponent<codeScript>().keys[i, 0]) //this still doesnt get called though both strings should be the same
             {
                 print("works");
             }
             i++;
         }
     }

It's stupid how I always answer my own questions.

Whatever, seems like you can't use == in this case. I used .Equals instead and it works.

Working code if anyone has the same problem.. :

     {
         for (int i = 0; i < 100;)
         {
             print(input + " and " + GetComponent<codeScript>().keys[i, 0]); //this prints for example "help and help"
             if (input.Trim().Equals(GetComponent<codeScript>().keys[i, 0]))
             {
                 print("works");
             }
             i++;
         }

This has nothing to do with "Equals" vs "==" but more likely with your additional "Trim" which you don't use in your question. Changing two things at the same time don't help to narrow down a problem.

Apart from that, your question is lacking important information since we don't know the type of your input variable and the type of your keys variable.

The input variable most likely has additional characters at the beginning or end, common are spaces or new line characters. "Trim" will remove those.

Yeah you are probably right that trim fixed it. Both vars are of type string. Doesn't matter, works now! :D
