Need help with comparing strings

[frierray]

I am a little new to C programming and I need to compare two ASCII arrays. One is pw and the other is k_buff.

I tried the following and it works for the first two locations in the array and the last, but not the third.

Is there a better way to compare the two arrays?

Use strcmp() for ASCII strings and memcmp() for non-string arrays.

Or in the case your char arrays (string) is not null terminated use
strncmp

Thanks for the feedback, it's a big help. I did use memcmp and it worked great. I'll also have a look at strncmp.
