Are you looking for something like this?

Code:

public class StringComparator implements Comparator
{

    /*
     * (non-Javadoc)
     * 
     * @see java.util.Comparator#compare(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
     */
    public int compare(Object o1, Object o2)
    {
        
        String str1 = (String) o1;
        String str2 = (String) o2;
        if (str1.compareTo(str2) > 0)
        {
            return 1;
        }

        if (str1.compareTo(str2) < 0)
        {
            return -1;
        }

        else
            return 0;

    }

}

I'm very sorry, what i actually want is .equals()

i want to compare pathnames of mp3 files and output if they are the same or

not and i confused with compareTo

I found what i want sorry for wasting your time

in that case it will be better if u use .equalsIgnoreCase() because file path with different casing are considered same in windows..
