[RESOLVED] strcmp on Linked List data and string constants?

[riechan]

Was wondering why strcmp() doesn't return true when comparing a string constant with a string that was acquired via a linked list. By the way, the data in the linked list was taken from a text file. Does that imply that there's a new line (\n) character in the string from the linked list?

struct Node{
	char ACNO[15];
	struct Node *next;
} *start, *end;

static char acctNum[20];

... locateUser(acctNum); ...

void locateUser(const char* a){
	// Locate user in the master file
	struct Node *temp;
	temp = start;

	while(temp){
		if(strcmp(a, temp->ACNO)){
			printf("match");
		}
		temp = temp->next;
	}
}

sorry, it seems to be working just fine. strcmp() returns a 0 when both character arrays are the same.
