nanoxml attribute type?
« on: Jan 6th, 2005, 3:44pm » |

Hi,
I'm working with the nanoxml parser, implimented using this as a reference:
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/board_Tools_action_display__num_1070627124.html
and I've got this piece of code:
String tempVar = (String)node.getAttribute("name");
String tempVar2 = "index.html";
if(tempVar==tempVar2){
println(tempVar+" IS equal to index.html");
}else{
println(tempVar+" IS NOT equal to index.html");
}
when the node im trying to find comes up, Processing tells me "index.html IS NOT equal to index.html".
anyone else experienced this, or have suggestions
thanks!

The == operator tests if Strings refer to the same memory, not if they contain the same characters. You need to use the equals method of the string to do a lexicographic match.
I explain this better here:

(this is already in my Java for Processing FAQ, coming Real Soon Now)
