Question

I have the following:

InputStream inputFromServer
TextArea t
String display
String validation

String display holds the data from the inputstream, it then adds it to the text area. I want to check that if display contains validation then dont write it to the text area. Here is the code I currently have:

while ((inputFromServer.read())!=-1)
{
    display = display + ((char)inputFromServer.read());
    t.setText(s);
}

I want something like:

while ((inputFromServer.read())!=-1)
{
    display = display + ((char)inputFromServer.read());
    if display contains validation {
        THEN DONT WRITE IT TO THE TEXT AREA
    } 
    else{
        t.setText(s);
    }
}

If the method is completely wrong then can someone guide me in the right direction please? Thanks

You could do like this:

while ((inputFromServer.read())!=-1)
{
    display = display + ((char)inputFromServer.read());
    if (!display.contains(VALIDATION_STRING) {
        t.setText(s);
    } 
}
