hey all,

i'm doing a little friday-afternoon parsing, but having problems comparing strings.  i'm loadStrings() and then looking for a particular line, but i can't get a match.

for example, i have a line in my .txt file that reads:
hello

but looping thru the String[] returned by loadStrings doesn't work:
Code:

String[] raw = loadStrings("sometext.txt");
for (int i=0; i<numLines; i++) {
  if (raw[i] == "hello") { println("hello at: "+i); }
}
 

when i explicitly println the line i know "hello" to be on, it returns "hello".

i suspect it's a linefeed/carraige return issue, but i dunno how to get around that....any textheads out there?

thanks!

hot damn.  thanks ben!  stuck in the actionscript mindset, i guess...
