Hi!

Thanx to all for your help with my multiple file problem. Now I've got
another problem :)

I have a program to exchange special HTML-letters to plain text i.e
&#233 to =E9=82 and so on.

In the beginner I set a string called 'test_string'

char test_string[5] ;

I do some other code that puts values into test_string character by
character.
I have a test line that prints the contents of a string to the screen.
Its output is:

from the lines:

printf(test_string);
printf("<--End of test string");

I get the output:

#197; <--End of test string

When I checks if test_string is equal to a special character:

if (test_string =3D=3D "#197; ") printf("I should see this");
if (test_string =3D=3D "#197;")  printf("or this");

...nothing happens.

What do I do wrong?

Thanx in advance!
