    // Woowoo! code here
}
if (words.contains("Blah!")) {
    // Blah! code here
}

this thread name can be set to solved

 

Code:

if i do
if (test.contains("blabla") {
it works but
if (test.contains("bla") {
works to
i want it to chest from ; to ;
but thanks for trying helping

 

You want it to chest? I don't understand what that means.

 

sry it need to be check, typo

 

Maybe you are looking for something like

Code:

public class StringSplit {
  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
    String testString = "Real-How-To";
    System.out.println(
        java.util.Arrays.toString(
        testString.split("-")
    ));
    // output : [Real, How, To]
    }
}

 

Actually, I think I might understand.

Code:

String[] teststring = "test=text1;blabla;anotherthing;morestuff".split(";");
if(teststring[1].contains("bla") {
//stuff to do
}

 

The most simple way should be:

Code:

if (thisstring.contains("blabla;"))
{

}

You would have to add a ; at the end of the last "word", though. And there are better ways to do this.

 

a test of the exact word, so bla and blabla makes a diffrence, can't use contains my solution would be:


String teststring = "test=text1;blabla;anotherthing;morestuff".split(";");
for (String iter: teststring)
// ------------------------------
if(iter.equals("bla") {
//stuff to do
}
// ------------------------------ or
if(iter == "bla") {
//stuff to do
}

 

The solution of MadMichi and Affecting_Nelas is the best I guess. But consider using equalsIgnoreCase(), depending of what you want to do ( for example player name matching..)

 

Ok thanks i will try it tomorrow got to sleep now.

 

How about this:

String str
if (str.indexOf("Cool") > -1) {
//do stuff
}

indexOf returns a zero or above value when the sub string is found, -1 when not.

 

He said in #3 that he doesn't want to match substrings (indexOf("Cool") would return an index for the "Cool" substring of "CoolGuy22") , otherwise it would be perfectly fine

 

The wise man has spoken.

 

I see. The OP needs to be clearer then.

 

I would do this:

Code:

final List<String> words = Arrays.asList(string.split(";"));
if (words.contains("Woowoo!")) {
    // Woowoo! code here
}
if (words.contains("Blah!")) {
    // Blah! code here
}

 

Yes this one worked thanks
