Question

I would like to compare strings but the following code won’t work. I’m guessing it’s because incompatible, is there any other way to do it?Thanks!

 public class test
 {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
       String str1 = "abc def ghi abc ded abc ghi";
       String str2 = "ghi";
       int count = 0;

         String array[] = str1.split("\t");
         for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
         {
           if(array[i].equals(str2))
           {
             count++;
             System.out.println(array[i]);  
             System.out.println(count);     
           } 

       }//for

      }//main

     }//test

It looks like you’re splitting on "\t" (tab), but your string is " " (space) separated. Try String array[] = str1.split(" "); instead.
