Re: string.equals() not working right



It would help to know what ParseArgs is doing. It looks like you're expecting it to split the string on "@" and that source would then be "sf" (assuming name is null on entry).

Have you tried looking at the content of source and name in a debugger (or use println to write out the values)?

There's nothing wrong with the equals comparison as far as I can see. Two strings with same length and characters should be equal.


BTW, if all ParseArgs is doing is splitting on "@" you could use StringTokenizer or more simply name.split("@").


And the series of if could be simplified to if / elseif ...

Hi,

I have the following function.

    public static PacketSource makePacketSource(String name) {
	if (name == null)
	    name = "sf@localhost:9002"; // default source

	ParseArgs parser = new ParseArgs(name, "@");
	String source = parser.next();
	String args = parser.next();
	PacketSource retVal = null;
	
	if (source.equals("sf"))
	    retVal =  makeArgsSF(args);
	if (source.equals("serial"))
	    retVal =  makeArgsSerial(args);
	if (source.equals("network"))
	    retVal =  makeArgsNetwork(args);
	if (source.equals("tossim-serial"))
	    retVal =  makeArgsTossimSerial(args);
	if (source.equals("tossim-radio"))
	    retVal =  makeArgsTossimRadio(args);

	return retVal;
    }

when I traced it, it failed in the first if statement. so what is wrong with the equals comparison?
