compare the remaining of Strings for equality

[Cylab]

E.g. <kind>moon</kind>
If one string starts with < (and not </) and the other starts with </, is there any way of comparing the remaining for equality.

As an idea, I want to push the string starting with < into stack, when / is encountered pop off from stack.

Thanks.

imho using a proper XML parser is the way to go but feel free to hack something together and we can show you the exceptions, i.e. Strings accepted by your hacky solution while they shouldn't and Strings rejected by your solution while they should be accepted. IgnoreList++

I think this is a student exercise to see what it takes to write a XML parser.
See posts at To parse Strings without parsing libraries - Page 2 - Java
