Can't compare the input I take from simple socket server-CodePudding

I just want to take user input such as GET_DATE and show the date. But when I check if the client wrote GET_DATE by using strcmp it doesn't seem to work. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 char date_message[] = "GET_DATE";
    //Receive a message from client
    while ((read_size = recv(client_sock, client_message, 2000, 0)) > 0)
    {
        if (strcmp(client_message, date_message) == 0)
        {

            printf("it works");
        }
        else
        {
            printf("it doesn't work");
        }
    }

CodePudding user response：

The user input contains also \r\n.

You can change char date_message[] = "GET_DATE" to char date_message[] = "GET_DATE\r\n" or parse the input and then compare it as you did.
