Comparing char to a value

Question

How do you compare a value of a character to another value...I don't really know how to explain here is my code
      int x=1;
      int[] answer;
      String newString="";
      String result=enter.getText();
      int size=result.length();
      char theCharacter;
      for(x=1; x<=size; x++)
        theCharacter = result.charAt(x);
        while(theCharacter != " " && x <= size)
          newString=newString+result.charAt(x);
        answer[x]=Integer.parseInt(newString);
        enter.setText("");
      }I am trying to take input from a textbox and read the input until I get to a space basically.

You could try.
String newString = "";
int iSpace = result.indexOf(" ");
if (iSpace >=0)
newString = result.substring(0,iSpace);
else
newString = result;
