Hello peoples.

I'm just learning about C++ classes, and overloading operators. I'm having some trouble with two overloads, one of which is operator==(char * ), and the other one is operator==(const CStr&).

Both of these methods contain the exact same code, with the only difference is that one takes a pointer to a character array, while the other one takes a class instance. I would like to be able to call the operator== that takes the character array from within the class instance method, to cut down on code.

Class Calls (Both of which are public):
int operator==( char *);
int operator==(const CStr&);

Method for == "String", same code for Class instance:
int CStr::operator ==(char * pIncomingString)
{
int Match = 1;
int Counter = 0;
while (Counter < Next && Match != 0)
{
if (*(pIncomingString + Counter) == Text[Counter++])
Match = 1;
else
Match = 0;
}
return Match;
}

From within the method with the class instance, I have tried a variety of lines to try to call this, but so far either it doesn't work at all, or it errors out.

operator==(IncomingClass.Text);
I have been working with this line, but no luck. I've tried to do Text==(IncomingClass.Text). This line will compile fine, but does not give me the expected results.

This code is for a project, which is complete, but am curious why I cannot call correctly another method and reduce duplicate code.

Thanks
