[SOLVED] comparing widestrings
Author
Hey Gamedev :),
Apparently the compiler doesn't like this (can't take left-hand with type std::wstring). However, I do need to check if these two strings contain the same characters. I know there's strcmp for normal strings, but what about wide ones? What's the the trick?
Regards,

Post your code, the problem is elsewhere. Comparing wstring objects is just as valid as comparing string objects; something else is causing the error.
(Post the exact error while you're at it, and make sure its the first error).

Compiles fine here (as it should)
So either:
1: You're using a crappy compiler
2: Your actual code isn't what you pasted here
3: Something else
We'll need a bit more information to figure out what the problem is in your case, but the code you posted should compile fine.
My test program looks like this:

Ok. Well, I've never really used widestrings, but this time called for it (DirectX). Anyway, I was about to post my own code when I saw your example Spoonbender.
It appears you don't need to include <string> for creating std::wstrings, but including the header is necessary for the operators to work. I guess that solved it.
Anyway, big thanks for the helping out guys! ;)

You need to include the string header to create std::wstrings as well, unless you have a *very* strange compiler.
