IF with a String

Here's my code:

string NameItem= getname (item);
int Itype= getitemtype (item);
if (NameItem=="IWR AftCyl" && Itype==0) return 2;


the IF never is true cause of the String in the code. I Must be missing something? However, the variable NameItem is correct.

NameItem=="IWR AftCycl" makes a new string in a new spot in memory with characters 'I','W','R',' ','A','f','t','C','y','c','l', and '\0' (a null terminated string). It then compares the locations in memory, which are never equal.

Use this instead:

comparetext(NameItem,"IWR AftCycl")

, which compares the two strings one character at a time.
