if() wont return true
Aug 15th, 2006, 1:26pm  
Hi,

i wrote a little picture programm, but now iam at the end of my knowledge. Because i use this:

if((xmlList[xmlList.length-2]) == (folderList[folderList.length-1]))
       println("hallo");

println(xmlList[xmlList.length-2]);       // return "folder"
println(folderList[folderList.length-1]); // return "folder"

... but the if() function will not return true.

thanks for helping me,
steffen

See the "Why don't these strings equal?" entry in the FAQ:

It's in the FAQ because it really is a frequently asked question - it's not obvious, you're in good company!

Did you ever use dynamic arrays? I searched for it and found this:

.. but is it possible to define my dyn array in the setup() and use the same the draw()?
