There is the method in CCString to compare the string

EXample

string1->compare(string2->getCString()); (or whatever the correctly named functions are) that function returns a number, which i think is the difference between the first letter that is wrong, eg a-b = -1 or b-d = 2.. I think this is for sorting things alphabetically... someone correct me if not?

basically if you get 0 from it, then the string is the same all the way through. so:

CCString *string1 = CCString::create("Hi");
CCString *string2 = CCString::create("Hi");

if(string1->compare(string2->getCString()) == 0){
//they are the same
}else{
//different
}

I treat your "compare each character" as "compare equal".

For example:

CCString *pStrA, *pStrB;
string strA = pStrA->toStdString();
string strB = pStrB->toStdString();

if (strA == strB) {
// do something    
}

Cocos2dx is based on CPP right? Just get the string to char array and then use ordinary string comparison functions such as strcmp..
