accessing variables

[emp]

I have some code thats been driving me insane. I need to access some variables but cannot as they appear to not be in scope. Code as follows -

while (rs.next()) {
String result = rs.getString(1);
String r1 = new String (result);
if (r1.equalsIgnoreCase(search)){
String var_nonunique = new String ("true");}
}

if (var_nonunique.equals("true")){
etc.....

The issue is that I cant access the var_nonunique at the bottom as it cannot be resolved.

Any thoughts on how I can access this?

Just define the variable out of the while loop....

[COLOR="Blue"][B]String var_nonunique;[/B][/COLOR]
while (rs.next()) {
String result = rs.getString(1);
String r1 = new String (result);
if (r1.equalsIgnoreCase(search)){
[COLOR="blue"][B]var_nonunique [/B][/COLOR]= new String ("true");}
}

if (var_nonunique.equals("true")){

Thanks for that. I'd actually just realised i hadnt done that myself and now the code works.
