Question

Sample Code

public static void main(String args[]){  
String test=null;   
if(some condition)  
   test = "\"abc\"";
else
   test ="def";

// if condition is true , in debug mode when i check the value of test its ""abc"" (double double quote);   
// if condition is false , then value of test is "def" (double quotes only one time);


}

Looking for a logic to check whether string has double double quotes . Tried below stuff

// test.startsWith("\"\""))  // this didn;t work

Answer 1

You are checking for 2 "(double quotes)s while your string has only one in the beginning. Try below:

 test.startsWith("\"");
 test.endsWith("\"");

Should work.
