Like Nodelist, but create temp String for checking

Question

Hi,
how do I store the previous contents of the command String in the previousCommand string in the loop so that I can use my method to compare them?
for ( int i=0; i< totalTstCount; i++){
      for ( int j=0; j< totalTstCount; j++){;
           // store the previous command to comapre TSTs
           String previousCommand = command;
           if ( i == 0) {
                System.err.println("Issuing first FSI.....");
                response = sitaIssue.issueFsi(response);
           else if ( (j > 0) && (sitaIssue.isFsiRequired(previousCommand, command))) {                             
                System.err.println("Issuing another FSI.....");
                response = sitaIssue.issueFsi(response);
}

I don't know where you get command from in the first place, but I understand taht this is not your question. If you declare previousCommand outside the loops and then inside the loop, at the bottom, just before }, assign command to previousCommand (the assignment that is already in your code), then the previous command will be available the next time through the loop. Does this answer your question?
