Comparision of two strings

Hi all,
Can any one suggest me how to do comparision of two strings by creating a short lived process?
i tried but in functions compare function is not there?
but compare function is built in function in workbench.
how to use built in functions in work bench.
Thanks,
Bharathi

Basic String operations are available which could be used for comparision : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/WorkbenchHelp/WS92d06802c76abadb-43a6230012826b ec632-7eb8.html
Also, you could use executeScript element in workbench : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=000581.html
Thanks,

Problem in comparision of two strings.please help..

I am retriving a string password from database and another string from html(user entered one).when i am printing those two strings its printing same strings.But whenever i am comparing strings and printing its not showing equal it is printing as false.what might be the reason.please help me regarding this.Thank you in advance.My cosing is as follows:
while(rs.next())
pwd=rs.getString("password");
System.out.println("pmfg is..."+pwd);
System.out.println("first string..."+pwd);
System.out.println("second string..."+loginpwd);
if(pwd.equals(loginpwd))
System.out.println("true.....");
else
System.out.println("false....");

once you got two string objects ......forget for where they are comming (database or html0 ....focus on those objects ....do the following
1) use trim() function on both strings which removes the whitespaces from front and end
2) use equalsIgnoreCase
if the problem still persists ....then forget your code and sue the SUN people

Compare two String

String s1 = "ABC";
String s2 = "ABC";
*if (s1 == s2){* //This tests true
*if (s1.equals(s2)){* //This tests true
*if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase(s2)){*//This tests true
My understanding is s1 refers one String object with the value ("ABC"); while s2 refers another String object with the value ("ABC"); So s1 and s2 actually refers to different objects.
Is this correct?
If so why the above test true?
Thanks
Scott

Just to dig a little further...
For
String s1 = "ABC";
and
String s1 = new String("ABC");
You mentioned:
if((Object)s1 == (Object)s2){
return true;
should return false because the two String Object references s1 and s2 are stored at different memory locations*
--My question, the fact that the comparision of ((Object)s1 == (Object)s2){... returning false is:
1) because they refer to different objects which are stored ar different locations?
OR
2) due to the above said: two String Object references s1 and s2 are stored at different memory locations
--I prefer the 1). But not so sure.
--If answer is 2), it will contradicts in following for s1 and s2 are stored at the different locations but the comparision ((Object)s1 == (Object)s2 will return true, i.e.,
String s1 = "ABC";
String s2 = "ABC";
uses String.intern at compile time
so
s1 reference at aaa looks for the String object at xxx
s2 reference at bbb looks for the String object at xxx
this way
if((Object)s1 == (Object)s2){
return true;
} should return true....
Further,
String s1 = "abc";
String s3 = s1;
Now, both s1 and s3 refer to the same Object ("abc"), but s1 and s3 are stored at different locations. Yet,
if (s1 == s3)... will return true.
This further indicates that the comparision of two references only has something to do with the actual location of the object, not the location of the reference itself.
Like to get your opinion on this issue.
Thanks

Is there a way to delete text between two strings?

In Pages, is there a way to delete all text containted between two strings?
For example, if I have a text document that looks like this:
String 1
String 2
Unwanted text
Unwanted text
String 3
String 4
Is there was to delete the unwanted text between string 2 and 3 so it looks like this:
String 1
String 2
String 3
String 4
The unwanted text is differnet between documents but string 2 and 3 are constant. I want to do this via automator for the same strings on multiple documents.
Any help is appreciated!

Do you mean Pages '09 v4.3?

Compare two strings in a formula

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's a way to compare two strings in a formula ?
I have this consition:
IF(@SUBSTRING(@NAME(@CURRMBR(TIME_FROM)),5)==@NAME(@CURRMBR(TIME)))
But the == operator can only compare two data.
Thanks,
Cyril

Hi,
thank you both for your answers.
When I figured that the == operator was for data only, I didn't even try to compare member names.
I finally used the solution that Cameron suggested in another conversation. I created a date measure, and loaded some data since the beginning of my time to the end.
It starts in 1974 (annually), then becomes monthly data, and then daily data from 2009, so it's not so many blocks to br created. In the end I have the same value for "from 2008"/"from Apr 30", and I can easily compare my dates.
Note that I could have also used the @TODATE function, which turns a date into a number, but the format of date is limited and doesn't fit the format of my member names, so I got lasy... and I'm not sure my users would have apreciated that ;)
Thanks, this post is solved.

Compare two strings and verify they have same alphabets

If i have two strings....s and t. I want to return whether s contains every letter in t. For example, "abcd" contains all the letters in "bbdc", since every letter in the second string appears in teh first.
thanx

If i have two strings....s and t. I want to return
whether s contains every letter in t. For example,
"abcd" contains all the letters in "bbdc", since every
letter in the second string appears in teh first.This will do the job in s.length()*t.length() steps.
// Indicates whether s contains every letter in t.
boolean allCharsContainedIn(String s, String t) {
    int len = t.length();
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        if (s.indexOf(t.charAt(i) == -1)
            return false;
    return true;

Compare two strings for partial or full match

I have been trying to figure out away of comparing two strings.
I can get the full string matching to successfully work but am struggling on how to get partial eg wildcard search working.
say I had names like paul Duncan, George Morrison.
I have split them up so its now paul , duncan i then use the users entered string to compare it against the name name to see if it matches anything in the first name or the last name if it does i added it to an arraylist.
however i have tried t use a indexof as i believe this looks for similarity (Substring matches?) but it always returns -1.
Could anyone possibly direct me to a method that will allow me to use partial text string to match it against stored user names.
eg user enters pa
I would return anything that would contain pa
thanks for any help

thank you for the reply
Sorry I forgot to put in the code.
This is a reduced down version including the read in from a text file as well as the index of if statement and the adding of it to an array list.
public class FindContact {
String res;
/** Creates a new instance of FindContact */
public FindContact() {
public Object[] FindAUser(String passSearch) {
System.out.println("getting here");
ArrayList found = new ArrayList();
String patternStr = ",";
int j, i = 0;
try {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("H:\\out.txt"));
String str;
while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
String[] fields = str.split(patternStr);
//for(j=0;j < fields.length;j++) {
if (fields.length != 0) {
if (passSearch.indexOf(fields[0])!=-1 || passSearch.indexOf(fields[1])!=-1) {
found.add(str);
System.out.println("ENDDDDDDDD value ");
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
Object[] foundResult = new Object[found.size()];
foundResult = found.toArray();
if (foundResult.length >= 0) {
System.out.println(foundResult.length);
return foundResult;
Hope that helps as it has confused me and am not sure why it is not returning a value.
Should I maybe use the contain method instead to search for the user inputted string?

Compare two strings and the save the greater

To devolop a vi,it can compare two strings.A string is gived,the other is saved previously.If greater,then save,or do nothing.

Hi,
I am assuming by "greater" you mean the string length.
Use the string length function from the strings palette, with shift-registers on a while loop. Write to the shift-register the "greater" string.
I am attaching a diagram screenshot for this. NOTE: depending on how you want this VI to run, you can move the input and output string control and indicator inside our outside the while loop.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

second thing from where i can get help of different string functions.
Thanks
Ajay

Hi
i think you are talking about concatination of strings plz try this program.
DATA t1(70) TYPE c.
DATA t2(70) TYPE c.
DATA t3(140) TYPE c.
t1 = 'ABAP Programming'.
t2 = 'is a Fun'.
CONCATENATE t1 t2 INTO t3 SEPARATED BY space.
WRITE t3.
you can find the help from ABAP Key word Documentation. just place you cursor on concatenate and press F1.

Return the difference between two strings

Is it possible to return the difference between two strings?
For example
String one = "We went for a walk";
String two = "We went for a run";
compare "two" to "one" returns "walk"
compare "one" to "two" returns "run"I need to return the difference of two strings, one prior to editing and one after editing.
Then I want to return any difference between the two, which will be the effect of the editing.
Cheers Alex

Interesting problem. Before you start writing any code, make up a whole bunch of test case pairs. Decide what the difference between the pairs is. When you start seeing patterns, analyse them. After a while you may have enough data to start writing your program. Here's one test case to get started with:"I saw the cat eat a rat"
"My cat is hungry"
