Java help. (New Question)

Question #2

i have some textFields, how do i setText to them? i know how to set a Int and a String, but is there a way to set a double? thanks.


Question #1 Answered
I have a *.dat file with words, and i want to check if a certain word is in that file. both variables are Strings, yet when i do

if (word == findWord)
messageBox ("match found&quot😉;


it never passes the if statement. I know it has something to do with the value of the variables, anyone know what i can do to check if a certain word is equal to another word?







thanks

Check my sig...if you post this in his forums, he will certainly respond- he always does. 🙂

Whenever you're dealing with strings in Java shouldn't you use the string1.equals(string2) in place of the string1 == string2 syntax? Try that...it could help.

GL: ive tried that yet it always shows are true,


i did;

if (word.equals(findWord))
messageBox("Match Found&quot😉;


yet it always gives me a messaga box even when word != findWord.


what am i doing wrong???

Can you provide the source for the offending code (just the part that reads in the file and includes this conditional statement)? It's difficult to diagnose, but like you said, it's pretty obvious that the problem lies in the values of word and findWord - so it's unlikely the problem lies in the code you posted here.

hmmm... a stray semicolon perhaps?? only thing I can think of...

well, for now, do this:

if(string1.equals(string2))
{
system.out.println(string1 + " and " + string2 + " are the same&quot😉;
// just to make sure something is not wrong with that boolean outcome
// and you are actually comparing the right stuffs
}
else
{
system.out.println(string1 + " and " + string2 + " are NOT the same&quot😉;
}
