c++ work around comparison between pointer and integer -

do {     getline (myfile,temp);     if (temp[0] != "="){         myalbums[i].tracks.push_back(temp);      }     else {         break;     } }while(true); 

gives me error:

iso c++ forbids comparison between pointer , integer [-fpermissive]

i trying loop through lines in text file , 'push_pack' if line not begin "=" equals character. else want break out of loop.

any appriceated!

if (temp[0] != "="){ 

should be

if (temp[0] != '='){ 

the reason temp[0] of type char (assume temp string read in), should compare char literal '=' not string literal "=". assuming read temp successfully, may need check if not case.

edit(thanks adam liss)

strings literals "=" of (const char *) type, enclosed in double-quotes; individual characters enclosed in single-quotes. therefore, have compile complain message comparing char (char literal integers) const char *.

quoting here:ibm c++ documentation

c  character literal has type int. c++ character literal contains 1 character has type char,  integral type.
